OK to make it short, I think that the top priority is to have the block deployment working again. Polymorphism and inheritance are brilliant ideas, but should not be considered short-term development. If we want to release 2.2, we must delay the development of polymorphism and inheritance. What is missing to have this block deployer working, without wiring concerns (hardcoded wiring against cocoon-core)? -- Jean-Baptiste Quenot http://caraldi.com/jbq/
