I'm sure many FRC mentors would rejoice at that concept. Sadly, I have a feeling that wont happen, either because IFI isn't interested anymore, or because FIRST might categorically reject a proposal from them. The old IFI systems were much faster to boot than even the 2009 cRIO-based system, which was the best one yet.
I also wonder if FIRST will be transparent with the FRC community about who is proposing?

I really can't see them being transparent in the process. I can't imagine the "you know what storm" that might erupt when a few thousand FIRST volunteer engineers each with their own pet companies and ideas debating this on CD.
Think Mac vs. Windows debate to the 10th power!
Things like this must be done with a limited committee of dedicated individuals.
