As Jim points out, their current long term goal is to be a replacement for the 
current system views (hence *new* system views), and the current project was 
created to facilitate development.  What I am thinking is that the project 
take on a different goal, mainly that it be an add on that intends to work 
along side the current system views and be both backward and forward 
compatible (hence *enhanced* system views).  It's a subtle difference.
