Is the layered approach sensible past "Level 2" as opposed to grouping 
modules by task? Or should there be anything at all past Level 2? The 
more sets, the more work to support them. But then, it seems to be much 
more reassuring to some users, judging from other posts, to have a 
"supported" set of modules.
