[Dario Taraborelli]

you are right w do not recommend hacking the core. Extending classes  
is the kind of approach Brian is working on for the new plugin  
architecture. As an interim solution we could allow overrides to the  
classes stored in /libs, but we'd need to implement some mechanism to  
alert the user after an upgrade that the core is more recent/better/ 
more secure than the (obsolete) custom extension.
