This thread was originally about the TTW development facilities, not
TTW management.  We will certainly include the TTW management facilities
in the first release.

At this point, I'm mainly concerned about which features should be
priorities for finishing for the first release.  I also want to
set expectations for the first release, in terms if who it's for and how
we expect people to use it.

A different question is how this is all going to be packaged.
I'm still thinking about that.

It will be possible to replace pretty much anything. It will certainly
be possible to replace the management UI. While I agree with the
benefit of organizing things to make this more obvious, I don't
think I particularly want to take the time to do this now.
