We love Papervision and APE and all of those things. But just cause we love them doesn't mean they need to be included in the official Flex product. Separation from Flex allows those projects to innovate on their own schedule and not be tied to the process that is Flex. But once the open source implementation is done you'll certainly be enabled to create your own SDK distribution that bundles up libraries like PV3D and APE in case others want something pre-packaged.

The Papervision 3D project seems to be going forward in sputters, but the Action Script 3.0 examples look extremely promising. Will this library and any nice physics and mathematics libraries be included in Flex Builder 3 soon ?
