The Sausalito UI is more customizable, and supports "plug ins" better
than the old RaQ 3/RaQ 4 Perl-based UI ever could hope to. And the
more modern, less customized OS will enable the basic apps to stay
up-to-date or be replaced/etc easier as well. So you _should_ see
developers able to add more functionality to the BQ systems more
easily.

Whether it will incorporate/replicate Webmin etc, I can't say. A lot
of the features from those systems are, to some degree, included
already (DNS, virtual hosting, etc).  Others, like reseller accounts,
etc., could certainly use some work.
