Hmmm, that link is broken by the way, although maybe that was a pun on "worse is better." Maybe you want this copy of it:

I don't think we've done anything even close to the "right thing" so far, with Tcl as the programming language and with almost no complex work taken on by the ACS core (i.e. the developer interface to the ACS is not exactly simple). So, I think sprinkling in a bit of the "right thing" won't hurt too much. It's not like we're talking about using Lisp :) We just want to spend some amount of time thinking about how best to go about this which, granted, is a far cry from the barely-designed ACS 3.x ....
