Hi,

Yes, I agree.  Without preempting the boss, let's discuss the outline for
the structure of mj2.0.  You've got lots of great ideas there  :)  Let's
put them into action!

Yes true, but, I like mj2.0 to have all the proper hooks for folks to
plug in their stuff, if it so happens that they want to replace existing
tools that do other things.  And, we should take good advantage of Perl5 --
do you consider using OOP?  (I do not know OOP yet at present, but this
would be an incentive to learn!)

So I guess you would put it as a bugfix release.  All the "nice stuff"
should go into mj2.0.  If people *really* want a feature, they should
put it in themselves, and document it well so that it can serve as a 
baseline for 2.0 development.
