No problem with it at all, I don't think. Sandy Beadle was talking to me 
about porting over the old HC example stacks and she talked to Kevin 
about it at the Monterey conference. He was fully supportive. I 
encouraged her to do it, and in those cases where the scripts or 
examples were outdated, to create new ones. She is seriously considering it.

To avoid duplication of effort, anyone who wants to help with this 
project should probably get in touch with Sandy. If she's on this list, 
maybe she will respond.
