Which it probably won't - customization is the key, we're not quite as
stupid as Adam makes us out to be.
Here's an idea:
How about ignoring whether or not a new solution is borne, or the SDM

on what features you want to see?
Has anyone thought about this, or was the last attempt such a failure that
people have given it no further thought?
