I think until we have real binary (deploy time, not compile time) 
blocks, and an infrastructure to support mini-subprojects out of the 
core, the reality is that we have to keep all this stuff in the current 
cvs. 

Personally I'm quite interested in a workflow block, so had we discussed 
it I'd have been in favor of it for just the reason they mention:  Lenya 
is not the only place it's useful.
