Bugzilla down - Revzilla loses its mind

In my desire to experiment with trying to be brief, I hit "Send" too soon:

In this case you would only support one.  Ken Ray supports the other.

In all the many words about why Rev is a bad choice for Internet apps, 
you didn't answer this:

     I don't think anyone's every advocated ditching the
     web UI for the database, but as long as Revzilla is
     appreciated at RunRev why not just bundle it in the
     Plugins folder?

That's all I was asking for, that and the reinstatement of a list of 
cool third-party goodies for Rev at their site that is large enough to 
include Revzilla (the current portrayal of third-party offerings gives 
the impression that the installed base is much smaller than it is).

You can use URLs in the fileName property of images and they get 
downloaded on preOpenCard, handy for exactly the same reason.
