Personally, I'd like to see Pagemaster remain a simple stripped down module. 
We've got some users that want even less :-) "functionailty" than pagemaster
provides.    Having a simple presentation with no frills, links, timestamps,
etc., seems to be popular.  Actually these are template issues,  but handling
those as a seperate module's template set (e.g. Pagemaster) while still
maintaining the more advanced article or blog style features elsewhere seems
to work well.

Best,
