Which is why it is database driven. Yes, most of the stuff which can't be extracted from packet collecting was guessed. Most things educated, some things outright random.

Again, database driven. The scaling was mostly guessed.
If you can control custom content through the database, you won't need custom code or you can create rule-based customization (as you pointed out). But we don't need every developer creating their own rules in the core. I'm sure you will find a happy medium.
