My idea is to wait 'till we have a more or less working plugin-interface 
available, untill then we shouldn't include more and more features. We could 
talk about these feature requests later. It doesn't make sense to me to 
include more patches to the AIO thing, because Klaus won't include anything 
like that to his branch of vdr. Do you really wanna have a AIO with 
"CHANSWTIMER=1" or "RADIOLOGO=1"? The effort of managing a working/stable AIO 
is increasing with every single patch. I'd rather spend the time for the 
plugin system. But this is only my point of view.
