I can see that now that youve mentioned it - but that's not the  
context in which I answered it.

There are many futures being pursued.  Some will pan out - some  
won't.  I can't really tell what will.  I could go down the laundry  
list of nifty efforts that will benefit me most - like exupery,  
seaside, pier/magritte, better networking, traits... but you know  
these as well as I do.    Plus there are a number of pain points  
around code management/modularity that could use attention.  The key  
is to stay alert and look for opportunities.
