+1

But just to make it explicit:

For CMFSetup the "normal" rules are not suitable. CMFSetup is not as 
mature as the other packages and we still have to change it in 
fundamental ways. Though these changes might not always be fully 
backwards compatible, I believe we should keep merging them into the 
CMF-1_5-branch.
