EclipseMylyn Plugin for FDD

With the latest release of Eclipse 3.3, it has a very power plugin Mylyn build into it. It allows the idea of "Task" focus programming which I believe is very similar to the concept of Feature Driven Development. Just a thought maybe someone would like to integrate FDDPMA with Mylyn?

Thanks!
