Howver tangentally I wanted to comment on this

The real problem with GAG for me is one of how unfriendly it is to new recruits to Glorantha. While probing the newbies attitudes to Glorantha on rpg.net one strong response I encountered was that they were put-off the setting by the number and availability of unofficial sources that seemed to comprise 'GAG'. Many felt frustrated that their Gloranthan play was looked down on because they did not have access to those sources. For 'outsiders' GAG is something of a tyranny.
FWIW (watch the URL wrap):
So I am more in favour of YGMV and leaving II to canonize versions it likes in its supplements or by licencing.
That said I am pleased that we got as many fan contributions into DP as we did.
