There's nothing to stop anyone here from grabbing a fresh copy of the Everything Core and making their own modules for it. I've tinkered around with it somewhat, and although the learning curve is not unlike rock climbing, once you get a handle on it you can really go places fast. Don't expect a book from O'Reilly on the subject any time soon. This is cutting edge, and the documentation is way behind the program.

Assuming one were bold enough to grab the kit, install it, and whatnot, you can write your own "modules" for it that are easy to package and distribute. These are called, whimsically, "nodeballs", and can be installed in a snap. At least in theory.

So, if you're really feeling energetic, grab it, make something neat. There's no point in going on about "wouldn't it be great if..." when you actually could be doing something about it.
