* lots of problems result from the ambiguity of resets vs. re-init/repositioning, it would make sense to extend SGSubsystem accordingly and expose two virtual methods to handle reset and repositioning explicitly per object, and not separately-we'd want to extend SGSubsystemGroup accordingly, to ensure it can delegate events to each member

* making sure that all subsystems actually implement SGSubsystem would be helpful (e.g. NavDataCache)

* there are a few subsystems that are intended to remain PERSISTENT per session, e.g. terragear, time, lighting, events - those should probably be put into a dedicated SGSubsystemGroup that isn't subject to reset/re-init at all, e.g. outside the actual subsystem_mgr ?

* fgCreateSubsystems() in fg_init.cxx and subsystemFactory.cxx are now overlapping in functionality, and we've seen some inconsistencies here that may further complicate matters[https://gitorious.org/fg/flightgear/commit/a52c0882a14aa3e4e6edd3f94dab0d5f8f0270c3#c107381]. It would make sense to get rid of fgCreateSubsystems() and move this into scripting space by using the add-subsystem fgcommand APIs (have this kinda working in the [[Initializing Nasal early]] branch.
* we can emulate '''run-levels'''  by grouping related SGSubsystems into SGSubsystemGroups which would greatly simplify things Tom's Canvas code is already using the notion of a PropertyBasedElement which wraps SGSubsystemGroup and SGPropertyChangeListener. This means we could allocate/free groups of subsystems and treat them as run-levels  e.g.:
