Martin,
My comments on the new branch name were pending project name change, so
I'll provide them now...
Since LEAF is now a Framework, how about using wood types for branches?
Douglas Fir - a bare bones frame
Rosewood - polished but not necessarily robust
Ceder - infection resistant
etc.

Some of this is likely my fault. Since my accident, I haven't devoted as
much time to LEAF as I did in the past. :-(
I hope to update our website in the next couple of months. Maybe that
will help invigorate community participation.
