Ditto that - the idea of plugging something like BitKeeper into an
object-aware framework, allowing builders to check their objects in and
keep a record of changes, is kinda appealing.  Especially given some other
work with clients and xml-rpc and so forth we've got bubbling...  Treating
the engine as a centralised repository for all manner of objects gets really
interesting.
