I didn't think of "as GPotM" but rather of "in the context of the GPotM".
You know, When we focus on a particular game project, there would be
several articles such as a story overview, project history or so, perhaps an
interview with the developers etc. A look at the internals with suggestions
for improvement etc would fit neatly in there.

Ah, ok. I understood it a little differently. 
Such a "cool hack" would of course be a sporadic thing. But it's a good
idea nevertheless :)
