i don't see why not. there are no legacy problems - everything is 
theoretically possible to change.

but at least the way i see it, my bet is that this won't happen soon (like 
this year). regarding my ideas for it, i also have to be careful with focus, 
that is won't put time into that project before Elephants Dream is done (in 
March). then again this is just me, perhaps other people can pull of great 
things before that, and (even though this cant be a high priority for him 
either) perhaps Ton can do something to provide .. something.
