Projects held tremendous promise, because at some point it would be wonderful for all core apps to work together. Clearly, that day is not today. 
Hopefully more thought went into the decision than just an assumption, because some of us clearly did use it heavily. 
Anyways, I look forward to any future planning in regards to how nc apps can integrate and work together. If anyone wants to read or add some ideas on expansion of things like system tags between apps, join this discussion.
