Does anyone agree that if there is a core effort, it should go towards 
hook ordering and chx's before/after code in his sandbox (I haven't 
looked at it in a while, but it seemed promising)? This should all be 
done at the code level IMHO and not an admin interface. Module weighting 
only gets us so far and I think a much more dynamic solution is allowing 
mymodule to say hook_foo goes before contribmodule's hook_foo, but 
mymodule hook_bar goes after contribmodule's hook_bar.

Also, with some sort of weighted hook registry, my module could disable 
another module's hook for real edge cases.

But, I'll need to think of a use-case as maybe I'm just talking out my 
arse. Anyone think this is useful?
