that'd be great

It really would. CM has already been the 'base' ROM for non-Nexus devices for years now, and we'll need a replacement for it if CyanogenMod Inc. takes a wrong turn somewhere. This situation has definitely exposed how reliant the ROM community is on CM, which is exactly why we need a viable alternative to base ROMs on.
