I'm envisioning the latter --- I think somebody should prove that
useful results can be obtained before we spend any effort on making it
easier to gather the input numbers. Mind you, I'm not saying that
I don't believe it's possible to get good results. But building
infrastructure in advance of a solid use-case is a recipe for
building the wrong thing.
