I think this is going too far.  CAN will be a different board.  Adding much
more to what is already on this board will make it so big that nobody wants
it because they will only use 10% of it.

I've gotten some useful ideas from this thread, and some changes will
definitely be made from my original design.  However, there is no way to
please all the people all the time, and it would be a mistake to try.
