Some of the goodies items, particularly the covering and polycount add-ons, are invaluable to proper file management and detailed model solutions.

keeping these as extra, and not keeping them updated is starting to become problematic. In particular, the polycount add-on; it is missing quite a few key tools introduced in the past couple versions. In one example, we get a total polycount of 5,000,000, but in the list of visible/selected elements (all visible and selected), only see around 1,000,000. It turns out, it is processing polygons for MEP elements, but not listing them off. So in the MEP model, I have no idea if there are 1 or 2 elements contributing 4m polygons, or if it is the accumulation of all ducts and pipes together adding up to that.
Additionally, the polycount add-ons "all polygons" vs "selection" only works in plan view. If I want to check a selection in 3d, or section, or... no dice.
This tool has been vital to proper file management, but keeping it as an outdated, ill maintained, and an afterthought seems like just omitting a key part of proper file management.
