I like the discussion going on though. I actually like the idea of addons being able to share one settings menu entry but I can see where some people wouldn't find it as easy. I never originally planned on using LibAddonMenu to create a settings menu entry, but did so after requests from users (and my ineptness with adding things like slider controls to my own menu window.
Ha, I remember the thread you are talking about...

Great discussion going on here! I may be off my rocker, but I seriously think the biggest concern ANYONE should have regarding the standards/conventions being used with addon development would be poorly named global variables. I couldn't care less how awkward and convoluted your globals name is as long as it is unique enough to not pose potential overlaps with the default UI and other addons. As for your locals, you could obfuscate them to a letter table for all I care, tbh...
