Just a general Content Center question: does Autodesk plan to update (add more parts to) the library at any time in the near future? We really could use some pvc pipe and fittings. Also, fix the MC/C library shapes (they are all MC profiles, not any C's). I'm sure there are a number of additions to be made, but it seams that nothing new has been added for a few releases that I am aware of. Any updates planned?
I can't speak for Autodesk, but my impression is that the focus is shifting to
http://grabcad.com/library crowd sourcing or vendor sourcing for stuff like this.

In the basic out of the box ANSI library there are a lot of PVC fittings and pipe. Multiple schedules and sizes. For specific brands such as Spears, I would suggest checking GRABCAD, or creating custom libraries from iparts. i doubt ADESK will be putting a lot of time or money into adding libraries with so many available on the internet.
