I would draw a parallel to Ntrak (from Model Railroading)... there is a
standard, (for example, 3 tracks, so many cm from the edge of the table and
from each other) it ensures interoperability. If you deviate from the
standard (you have 4 tracks instead of 3) that's fine as long as you still
interoperate (your first 3 tracks match the standard, and you're OK with a
dead end 4th if you mate with someone who didn't deviate the same way you
did). The standard does not list off every possible deviation and codify it.

I may not agree with the exact wording Jon used but I agree with the intent
as I read it (interoperable deviation is fine but the standard is what it is
for now). I'm assuming that if you submitted your module(s) for inclusion in
the links to modules page it would still be included and reachable, I didn't
read what Jon said to mean that you'd be excluded that way. Just that the
standard is not being changed at this time.

I would ask people not to blow this out of proportion...

Jon,

Can you please confirm Larry's interpretation.

Thanks,

Jude
