So what's needed is someone who thinks along the same lines as FASA. I
don't see any real problems with this, especially not since (should
something like this ever happen) it'd be checked out by FASA before it'd
actually be published anyway, probably with some or another re-write
following that. Plus, simply updating a book to third edition is quite
easy, not something I feel needs to be done by a committee (we all know
the results that tends to produce).
