I can't speak for CS people (although I understand I'm now classified
as such?) but this has never, ever been my goal. In fact, it's been
stated over and over that without library specialists in library
systems none of the proposed ventures would have any cultural nor
growing value. In fact, I share your concern, but I can't say I've
seen it proposed here nor elsewhere in the library world.
