For installations using good quality, high resolution TPS, would it be useful and possible to add a facility to the MJL to output a PWM (pulse width modulation) to drive one of the new digital RC servos?
These servos have unbelievable power, speed and resolution and could drive a throttle directly, doing away with a mechanical link.
Just a thought.

Nice idea....
...but, raining on your parade a little, that seems a little too close to a safety critical system to me.
Insurance Company: I see Mr Fiddler, so you uncontrollably ran into the back of Mr X as you've fitted a full authority throttle positioning system driven by a community-based PWM-controller and something went horribly wrong. Now, just let me look at your insurance policy where it says your insurance remains in place when you do just that....
