Could you translate these ideas into JIRA tickets and mark them against 2.1? After I finish with the XWork refactoring, I'd like to work on making the configuration providers pluggable, because as you said, it really opens up some interesting possibilities. It is kinda tricky as you have a chicken-egg situation with providers that create plugins which create providers, so patches would be very welcome :)
