No.  With these answers I'm a +1.

IMO, to remove the ResolverModel and helper classes(ICFile, ICLanguage,
etc ...), is the right step.
The framework was good, but now the Core Platform is providing a
framework that will allow
the CDT to exchange with the other components (Editor,
StrutureViewer(comparator), etc ..)

Yes, the timing is bad, when the changes will appear and according to
our milestone
it will be for CDT-30M7 ... which was a feature/API freeze milestone for
CDT...

Unless, we change the rules for CDT M7 and accept API breakages.

According to this:
	https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=85765
I got good hopes.

good question, I need more feedback on the owner of ContentypeManager
framework.
This is a generic UI and should be provided by the platform ... but yet
there
is no timeframe set.

Noted.
Worst case, we will provide one for CDT 3.0
