What do you think of option two in my original mail, regardless of when the new

Honestly, while I agree to not grow the API, I favor the first option,
as modifying the implementation to re-register node types would change
the API (contract) - and this I dislike even more than growing the
API...
-1 for option 2.
i agree with felix. after all there's a clear distinction between registering a
new type vs modifying an existing type, like e.g. in sql dml: 'create table'
vs 'alter table'.
In general I agree with not changing the contract etc. but I thought in this
context it might be feasible. I of course know that there is a difference
between create and alter but I was unsure if someone really relies on this
contract in the context of node type registration.
But because you both dislike option 2, I would rather not change the API (option
1) but wait for the new node type management API of JCR 2.0 to be available
since it's already possible to reregister nodetypes just not through RMI.
Cheers,
Christoph
