There are immense benefits of being able to generate addresses deterministically and to back up the wallet seed.
I read that there's even an existing code base which has BIP44 (deterministic address generation) and BIP32 (mnemonic seed) tailored to Ethereum:
https://github.com/trapp/ethereum-bip44Are there plans to establish such standards for Ethereum and implement it in the core clients? Why or why not? And if so, where should one look in the future?
