I have asked myself that; certainly because I enjoy playing around with new ideas and, as they say, to scratch an itch - so, for my benefit. But hopefully also for *their's*, as there are a lot of experiments with the language and certain concepts going on at the moment, and we need to find out where it's going; what is going to be interesting and used and what is not. That's what these modules are: Experiments. Usually not things you can use right-away in production, more like proofs-of-concept; things that are based on experimental code themselves. Because of that they depend on feedback quite a lot; to see whether a direction is worth exploring. To all who replied: I wanted to say thanks for all your encouragement, especially for Aspect, which is very much experimental and in the very beginning stages. As Tony suggested in private mail, I'm going to (try to) start more smaller discussions around certain issues regarding Aspect, instead of one big 'here it is' announcement.
