This weekend I had the luxury of working with our VIEW system, and it
seems like I greatly underestimated the power of this feature, even if
the concurrency issues I've mentioned in this thread would be left
unaddressed.

I haven't looked at the patch yet (I plan to do so), but +100 for this
feature.

Should we expect a new patch any time soon?
