Thanks for the feedback!  (I'll be happily integrating this into the
"Ecosystem" part of the sprint report)

I'll just comment on an easy point and leave the meat to the rest of

Patches welcome, I think.  When we first renamed the modules, I balked
at the modules which seemed to be not quite Darcs-specific.

In the long run, I'd like to see some of this stuff go.  Even better
than a renaming patch would be spin-out or use-3rd-party-modules patches
