And now we arrive at an example of why I'm uncomfortable with this 
issue. Derrick described when the rpcs would be made by the CM, but not 
what they do or are for. so now, we are all (well, some of us) trying to 
pile on features that make this concept useful for some potential 
enhancement.

What's wrong with specifying the problem you want to solve, verifying that 
it is a problem, and proposing a tailored solution?
