I don't agree with you: a Matrix module would definitively end questions and requests on trivial functionality about matrices. This is a tremendously important goal to achieve, since answering to those questions is indeed a waste of time for us: there are way more important things to work on than answering to silly questions and remarks on the Caml list about matrices (including induced remarks about what is (or is not) an important thing to work on).
