Is this just a one-off implementation until GLEP 23 is implemented, or
something that will complement it? Whats going to happen to this data
after GLEP23 gets implemented? I'd hate to see something added simply
because its a quick one-off solution to make something work. I'd rather
see people focus on the actual GLEP and moving it along. Of course, if
this data will just be an added feature of GLEP23, I don't see a problem.
