"Openness" is good. 'Let a thousand flowers blossom,' or whatever it was Mao said. At the same time, one of the reasons Linux still isn't a significant threat to Windows on the desktop is the plethora of versions. It may be heresy but sometimes, you can have too much choice. This isn't the bottomless market for automobiles or music. There are already a number of niche figures out there that never ended up getting any significant support. Will three or four more, all requiring different textures, clothing, etc. really be that much more successful? Do we really need a Beta vs. VHS vs. who knows what else and wait to see which one(s) wither on the vine? If Zygote comes through then anyone is free to do whatever they want with these but personally, I vote for some kind of organization, even the barely controlled chaos that passes for organization in the Poser world. Give me one rabbit that I know I can feed and clothe easily, not Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail and Peter each with their own unique traits and one dress apiece. Let a thousand flowers blossom but let's have one good old standard American Beauty rose too. "She's the "OrigiMesh"." In which case, she should be named Lucy There are already at least two Eves and besides, most of aren't in Kansas :-)
