that's what the Leos seem to agree on...haven't heard from the peter's
yet though =)
recent discussion is still loads of theory. Once code is in place and
working, we'll be voting, I guess...
of course, regardless of any cool roles 'n contracts we dream up, an
assembler that has access to ant and source code can override just about
anything.

Pretty much. The information specified by the assembler could also be
construed as metadata :)

Yes. *always* easier to deal with working code.
