This makes sense to me, Jay. 

I know Jim Gilmer's goal with V. 2 of "the system" is to incorporate more and more types of measurements into the options for entry. I have a peripheral understanding of the priorities and the complexities of building an "omnibus" data entry portal. This knowledge is sufficient to inform me that we'll likely never have a system that readily incorporates all scenarios.

I think Jim and his team have done a superb job of determining which kinds of measurements are "cookie cutter" in nature, and they have made it easy to submit courses that comprise the largest volume by percentage. There is an inverse relationship between the more complicated course submissions and the volume of them, so naturally these types of submissions will be made available in subsequent versions of the portal. It seems to me that there is also a corresponding relationship between the less-frequent types and the amount of development work that goes into creating the online forms that will handle them.

Jim and his team have put a monumental amount of work and time into creating and managing this system. Jim has done all of this as a volunteer. If you are of a mindset to give Jim and his team a shout out, please do so. They richly deserve it.
