Yes, stuff like that will definitely be allowed. And while the user may not be 
allowed to configure the layout, some default layouts ca be 'factory-defined'.

Sounds ok to me. But I hope to not break anything!! :D

As an average software developer I'm not really good in following precise 
timings, but I often fit into bigger chunks of work ;-) About IRC, I cannot 
guarantee 24/7 or "every night" (my gf claims me 3 nights a week, for example 
;-)) but I do recognize the importance of communicating and agreeing on 
changes!!! So I'll be available ;-)
