Hi, again, Petr,

If my theory is correct (that RT has been forced to put other work
ahead of MODULE in the priority list), then perhaps there's another
benefit to our working on unit management as a community.
If we collectively define (and put to use!) an open-source-like
unit management scheme, perhaps RT would use ideas from that scheme
to influence their thinking on MODULE when it bubbles back up to
the top of the priority list. I.e., if our scheme is good enough,
maybe they'd be willing to work toward having MODULE fit within
that scheme with minimum rework.
(Not that I'm suggesting that any of us are bright visionaries
on the same level as Carl, but maybe our collective candles can
shed some light on this issue...)
