If you're speaking about something that's not even used by the CMF  
then that won't be a shostopper for the CMF. For GS, IMHO, this is a  
bit of an esoteric feature. I don't know any place that uses it. If  
there's a decision to be made between "get the goddamn release out"  
and "wait until someone figures out this piece in GS" I'll choose the  
first option.

Well, I imported it into a site with a different ID. The "Components"  
tab you provided shows the "old" ID, unfortunately. However, I don't  
know if that makes a difference in real life or if it's just a  
cosmetic issue.

If it's not an obvious showstopper I feel it's not worth holding up  
Wichert. Would you agree?
