Relax, kids ... I was simply taking exception to our friend csThor's summation that AAA have nothing to do w/ what gets modded ... I agree with him, but that is not the point of the OP, nor is it a good arguement. What I do understand is that AAA DOES have a say in what IT provides - I take that as a strength, and a sign it does care about what is modded and why. It once again speaks to the OP suggestion of sanctioned mods .. complete w/ incorporation into the game.

NOW, do I think it will happen ... nope. Is it a good idea ? I think so. If the modded material was incorporated into patch 4.09, or 4.1 .... does it remain a mod ?
Don't you think all the anti-modders wouldn't want to fly some of these awesome maps ? or even some of the flyables ... I'm betting they would.
just like many of the anti-modders lurk at the AAA site, and download the new mods to "test" them ... yeah, right ... I'll bet they don't remove them after testing though.
