There are many issues that can be resolved by writing more code, changing
how drupal works. Those are really where the developers excel. However, this
list was focused on how to use the current tools and to not go into the
process of solving every problem by re-re-writing code to make it work a
specific way.

Developers tend to be code-facing and use that hammer to solve problems.
Consultants tend to be client-facing and are using a different set of tools
to solve problems. Specifically they tend to see Drupal as a tool to solve a
problem instead of a project in need of attention.

Which is why this is a different list than the developers lists.
