This does need some more disucssion, but I also considered it important
to at least give some signal to indicate in which direction the
consensus seems to be going. It might even get Ben to fix the Bling
bundle...

I noticed that a bit later, see my second post.

Oops! I'll add it to my list.

He mailed me directly about it with a couple of comments, most of which
I have addressed this week. He did run into a few nasty problems that I
have not been able to reproduce, so there is some work to be done still.
I haven't seen a review posted on the framework list though, that's why
I put it in this list.

Other changes such as new workflows are very welcome as long as they are
not too invasive. But this was just a PLIP review list :)
