I do not know the answer to that; it's going to need to be done by the
general consensus of the community (or as near to it as we can come).
For what it's worth, I'm strongly in favor of it.  But it'll need to
have someone pushing it in particular in terms of concrete
applications (e.g. Glom; of course, maybe it would happen through
first getting something like Nemiver into the development tools
suite).
