Absolutely. I'm sure if the contributions are good they can be rolled  
into the core. I'd be slightly cautious of this kind of networking  
"improvement", though - it's probably all too easy to not notice bugs  
and design flaws for weeks and weeks, at least until after you're  
convinced that the code is working okay.
