I think your proposal is OK. I was thinking for a while about this and for my point of view the 2.2 is a major relase (maybe it would be called 3.0). These 4 key points are a radical change of how we can see at cocoon. And as you pointed we can start the block construction and continue the improvement of the current 2.1 branch (in forms and portal) while starting a total new cocoon. Of course the user interface will be preserved the most. But from the internals these is really a great new shaking if the current code. Is this correct? Best Regards, Antonio Gallardo
