I think here you are missing the boat by some inches... The moding community is competing with you... either by collective "free will" or not. A sign of it? Think how long it took to major mod packs to include 4.09final.
Ghandi had a saying...
First they ignore you... then they fight you... then you win.
Many simmers were against moding at first and passed through the same stages... now is your turn.
You are trying desperately to ignore them but, before you launch the new uber duper patch with triggers and the rest "announced but is not sure it will be included" (the old story) ZUTI's MDS will be far away. And guess what... when triggers do come into view by a royal patch... they will be cannibalized and modified and improved cause this is what "open source is" and this is how a distributed system work.
Then you will fight them... and eventually out of resources...
Like it or not... IL2 is almost open source... intended or not. You have your chance to collaborate and help IL-2 be better in this "brave new world" or... you can try to obstruct the new normal course and turn your back to what IL-2 fans had worked.
And this discussion is on topic as it is trying to establish your exact attitude in regard of moding community and they workings.
