I'm going to put my two cents into this debate, for whatever that's worth.
First, I don't think NSFM should be in DMSI. If something is contradictory to a goal, even if it helps get to the desired end-state for the user, it shouldn't be in the program. A program has a specific function, that's the reason why everyone here purchased it.
Also, the end goal of the program has not been reached yet. Adding something that is contradictory to that goal now, would be a mistake. I would understand if we reached the program's goals and then wanted to modify it to see how effective it would be, but we're not there yet.
I think NSFM should be it's own sub, probably updated to meet the requirements of what everyone wants or needs from it when they are the initiator.
Second point I wanted to raise is, I see a lot of requests from people saying to add tons of things into the program and that they don't care if they have to wait until next year for 3.0.1 to be released. That's also a mistake.
DMSI is an experimental technology. The only way to accurately measure it's effectiveness is to build, field test with trial patients, refine, and test again. There is already enough new technology going into 3.0.1 that is worth for it to be released and tested, including the sniper updates.
Packing in every little thing into one release and waiting another three months for it doesn't make sense. You'll never know what you did that made the breakthroughs like that. The effectiveness of the experiment goes awry.
Right now, there are two people's journals who I will be reading when 3.0.1 comes out, to see how effective it really is. Those two users are Catman and Swisston, because they are the two users who have had the least success. Actually, Catman had a breakthrough with 2.5, which gave Shannon a lot of data on how effective this new version was for him.
Lastly, and Shannon stated this himself, the end-goal isn't to just get DMSI to work. DMSI working according to his plans only proves what the technology is capable of. Shannon has bigger goals and quite frankly, I don't mind being a test subject for experimental subs. I'd rather be part of the trial because I can also measure how effective something is for me and how much I can change.
Keeping all of that in mind, Shannon, if you do read this, I hope you stick to your original schedule for releasing 3.0.1 and I hope you don't add NSFM into it.
