I realise that "blocks" are still vapour-ware, whereas "optional modules" are at least imminent vapour-ware ;-) but I'm still not entirely clear on how the relationship between these "optional build modules" and the planned "blocks" is supposed to develop. Can someone comment on how they see these 2 related concepts developing?
It seemed to me that the CONTENT of each one of these things (i.e. the components, sitemaps, scripts, docs, etc within a module, or block) would be essentially the same, i.e. they should have the same granularity. This is what I meant by "essentially the same", NOT that they use the same mechanism, because obviously they are different. Is this right? When pluggable "blocks" are finally developed, will they be able to entirely replace the mechanism for optional modules? Or will there be some optional modules which will never become blocks? Is the optional build going to be a temporary measure before blocks arrive? Or is it a step towards a component architecture of blocks? i.e. a block = a module + some metadata? This is what I'm still unclear about.
