So just follow me here people, what if we had this common shared library 
where code could incubate and then we could write some tools to easily 
copy that common code into other projects...

I'm pretty sure I could get said project approved as a top-level program 
under The Foundation and might even get a talk or two out of this idea. 
I can see the Intel money rolling in now...
