Yep, that's my impression.

Fair enough.  I don't see the necessity for it to be *that* tightly 
focused, but that's just me and those who think otherwise shall 
happily ignore my whims.  I think that it was written with the 
tightly drawn power packages, and that there probably is some 
background reason for this.  And that we won't know until Matt 
decides to tell us.
