Stefan can make one Official - either himself, or by reviewing (and verifying the virus-less-ness) of someone else's, each of which takes about as long...then we'd have to wait for said Editor-Maker to update it every time Stefan updates the client...etcetera.
The same could be said for everything - ganishop, RC, etcetera - this whole forum's about things we want Stefan to do, and only Stefan to do.
Not surprisingly, (it seems) he'd rather work on Graal3D. I would too if I was him - make an awesome game, then nobody lets you develop the content or PLAY it, just keep on with these boring administrative tasks. That'd suck - that's how it went with Classic, I moved up the ranks from "Make what you like" to "Make what Graal needs" to "Make sure these guys make what Graal needs" to "Make sure these guys make sure their guys make what Graal needs" to "Make sure Graal gets advertised properly" - when all I ever wanted was to make stuff for Graal, based on what I thought would make it (Classic anyway) a better place. So I can understand someone wanting to spend a little time on the Fun half of development.
Unfortunately, we'd all much rather he worked on our little projects - approve this, make this, add this, confirm this, help us with this, etcetera. Which is why we need to clone Stefan, so they can trade off working on Graal3D and still make all the fun little tools and features we want.

Cool. You got the blueprint of this cloning device? |
