I was thinking of changes to the language more than the IDE -- I know 
the IDE will be fairly stable, as you pointed out. I'm assuming (yes, I 
know what happens) that Scott won't be adding new/updating existing 
language terms to the MC documentation going forward. That pretty much 
means abandoning the MC docs and adopting yours, which is another nut 
to crack.
