The mission statement of the Sage project is: "Create a viable free open source alternative to Magma, Maple, Matlab, and Mathematica." I came up with this statement one year after starting the project, and have stuck with it since; it seems to provide good general guidance. Thus if there is some functionality of interest in Matlab (say), then it belongs in Sage. I'm guessing the Simulink package in Matlab thus justifies something relevant to this email as belonging in Sage.
