There was a very clear agreement several months ago on the conference calls
that the modular tree was the plan for going forward, as long as it didn't
turn out to be a real fiasco. So far, I haven't seen anything that looks like
a real fiasco that would warrant this decisions being reversed.

There may be a couple of things that are yet unproven, so we should clearly
identify what these are, and push to prove them to everyones satisfaction.

Now that the modular tree is working pretty well, it might be time to take
a moment, and consider wether or not there is sufficient documentation to
explain how to use/build this tree. It's easy once you have done the 4 steps
needed to set it up, but there are places where it is easy to stumble while
taking those 4 steps.
