Of course not - nobody's tried it yet ;).  That is, there's no reason 
in theory why it shouldn't work, but I have confidence that we'll run 
into a whole bunch of problems at the beginning, some of which I can 
predict (performance and UI issues arising from Monticello not being 
designed to handle at once the 50+ packages we'll probably want to 
divide the image into), most of which I'm sure I can't.  But *will* 
Monticello be up to the task, in the long run?  Yes, definitely.  I 
think this is a great experiment, and if we try it in earnest, I'll 
commit some serious time to smoothing over whatever problems we run 
into.

My point is this: I think it's a good time to try this out, but we'll 
be in for a rough ride.  As long as you promise to nag me to fix what's 
broken instead of getting discouraged and giving up, then let's do it.
