I agree 100%. Just because they give us some better scripts doesn't mean that they're handing us the code. Instead of giving us some wood and nails and saying "build us a box", they're handing us power tools and saying "now make us something cool"

I, for one, am very excited about the idea. I just need time to look things over and play with it a bit.
