I like your phased approach, Nate.
In addition to something like that, I'd like to see the next T2K itteration come with more or less generic templates for various apocalyptic event horizons. There'd be one for a global pandemic of sort (reducing the population dramatically but leaving infrastructure largely untouched), one for global climate change (food and water shortages, rising see levels, etc.), one for something that would destroy most electronics (EMP, solar flares), and one for your good old fashioned global thermonuclear war. Hell, you could even throw in an alien invasion or zombie rising. I'm thinking of a tool kit for the creative GM to use in fashioning a near future of his liking. Of course, exhaustive current/near future gear lists are a must as well.
