Christophe,
We just don't have the resource to make it happen. I'm having a hard
time keeping up with data binding as well, so if no one shows up to help
with the effort, it's not going to get done. And even with help, it
still takes time to review designs and to help the helpers, though
typically less time than doing it myself.

Thank you Ed. I didn't realize the teams are under such work load.
I would like to help, but unfortunately, I am one man band as well....
If I decide to migrate to commands for my app, I could contribute the
code, perhaps usable to create the templates...
Cheers Christophe

Christophe,
Certainly in terms of service and support we like to make it feel as if
there is a team of 100 people, but that's not the case. We just make
that our priority. In terms of new features, we're limited to pick and
choose from among the things we can contain and try to focus on those
things that will have the most positive impact on the largest number of
clients. The MinimalEObjectImpl thing being an example of that...
