[Golist] GoASAP version 0.4.9

[Moses Gunesch]

I'm thinking that I should start referring to the Management Layer as  
the Automation Layer which is just sexier and more descriptive.

It really sets it apart from utilities.

Utilities are tools for developers to use in code.

Managers can automate any time-based process in the background.

What do you think?
