A UnifiedStack incorporating both appstack and what would be considered netstack components

Now that Appstack is in my production and I am enjoying its ability to visualize systems I am running into a major issue using it in lieu NetAtlas maps.

I have limited space on our group summary or critical apps custom summary pages and would like to replace static NetAtlas maps which never get updated with an Appstack like view but it needs to include my switches, interfaces, and non-windows servers (all nodes in fact).

While it would be nice to see what could be considered Netstack components from NTA, WPM, UDT, etc it is more important for me that a UnifiedStack simply show all objects with at least relationships to interfaces, application monitors, and groups shown.

Did some digging and have found that nodes that are neither virtual nor have any Application monitors all seem to be missing from Appstack server categories. Here's the workaround:

I've been able to add simple http and snmp app monitors to my storage nodes(not yet supported by SRM), blade chassis which should have been under clusters category, fibre and ethernet switches, and oddballs like tape libraries all of which were not being shown by Appstack at first. My goal is 100% of my nodes show up in this "Environment" view. New categories like interfaces, Netflow, QoE would be welcome but being able to define are own would be best.
