CMFWorkflow needs a conversion script, CMFCore needs one. Can't see any 
difference and why the first is what you want and the second one is -1.

DCWorkflow is 'just' an other workflow for CMFCore.WorkflowTool, so why 
does it need to be a product on it's own if we have to write a 
conversion script anyway?

But from a more pragmatic point of view: If the renaming blocks 
integration for an other release (or for ever), I could also live with 
the name DCWorkflow.
