What you are feeling is the perception that the cocoon system is highly
modular, but it's use of modularity is not as modular!
In short: the internals are modular, but the way you use these modules
is monolithic...

My impression is: we must change the way the user uses cocoon's
modularity.
It's much greater concern and touches everything, ranging from CM,
sitemap mounting, flowmap mounting, Cocoon Blocks, Block polymorphism,
etc...
I have the feeling that without a global picture, we can't do a good
design.
Sorry, admittedly 'nonsense' was a bad term, but since I've given so
much thoughts on how to make this better, I wouldn't want you guys to
agree on something that overlaps with a bigger picture and might to in
the wrong direction because I didn't explain where I wanted to go
precisely.
So, please, I'll start a wider discussion and we'll decide what to do on
user roles there since it's part of the bigger picture.
