I think that GR has been great for PHY development and testing.  If you 
follow academic research at all in the CS network realm, you'll find 
that a trend has been PHY techniques to increase capacity of wireless 
networks due to MAC inefficiencies.  Like, Partial Packet Recovery (hi 
Kyle), and in this years SIGCOMM conference "ZigZag."  All of these 
works have used GR because of its PHY flexibility to evaluate these 
kinds of approaches, which no other open source platform has been able 
to provide as well as GR.

The MAC stuff is in the process, which I think we will then hopefully 
see more research in MAC protocols done on GNU Radio.  This puts it 
further up the protocol stack... and then from there, we only work 
further up :)
