Slight clarification:

I see a scenario where darkwallet dev pretty much becomes a
conversation about competing STRATEGIES for inputs and outputs
selection (plumbing level), while common usage of darkwallet at the
porcelain functionality level encourages the ecosystem to take root
and mature.

I really want darkwallet to succeed! :)
