Hello Alexander!
Sorry for not adding this immediately but I have some objections...
Step 1, I consider some bug with our export mechanism. Isn't this just a
small fix?
Step 2 and 3, I consider to be extensions to the profile handling mechanism
to allow models to be loaded and apply constraints.
Step 4. Doesn't the model (MDR) provide this by the relationship between the
model objects and their meta-types?
