Nubus... I don't have any of these cards.

And even ISA cards are getting hard to find. Shouldn't we go with an simple proprietary connector? That way we don't need to fiddle around with achieving compatibility.

However, the base system has so much already built in that anyone expanding the system can fully document their expansion and provide a sample "driver" or ROM modifications and take the heat away from the core development team. I do feel that expansion capability becomes necessary, though, because someone will eventually find a use for the machine in which they need 8 serial ports or the ability to interface to an old IEEE488 system.
Uhm well, I hope ther will be a core developer
team.
As for the blinken lights one could use some free port lines for driving LEDs. For example a programmable power LED like done in the Amiga.
