If "they" develop something right now, they would be part of our team, 
right? :-)
And then, developing new components and APIs shouldn't be in the hands 
of few people only - it takes a lot of discussion to create those and 
show the path into our future; we don't have the resources right now to 
do such a thing, I'd think.
IOW if someone develops something like this now, we won't stop him, but 
there can't be any guaranty that we can make use of that stuff later 
on, too.
If someone is willing to spend resources on our project, he should do 
it now in our current scope. Anything else might be a waste of time.

Bye,
   Axel.
