This. Please. Please. Please. (If we keep asking does the chances of it actually happening go up).

The only current problem with belts (at lease in my opinion) is that pulleys require decent amount of post machining to be utilized the most effectively. COTS FIRST-standard pulleys would fix that (as I understand it there's something about licensing the tooth profile that stands in the way, but mon dieu if this could happen it would make my 2014 build season).
