love it - replied on review board before seeing the replies here and wrote 
more or less the same as Marco:

"My concern is more on how the users will see it. Will they understand that 
Milou and Kickoff work differently or will they think that we ship redundant 
features by default? So yes they serve a different purpose, but from an end 
user perspective I rather doubt it."
