Actually, while I have no problem with sharing the code, the point why
I don't is that it is very specific to my needs (e.g. my definition of
the meaning of a primary bitstream and other details I didn't
mention). It's really not suitable for upstreaming, certainly not as
the default. In fact, that was the intention of the 1.6 embargo - to
let you define the policy yourself. It may be unfortunate that the
policy is expressed as Java code, which raises the barrier to entry.
That's also the reason why the common use case was refined and given
UI elements in the 3.0 embargo. So back to my original point - what
Bram mentioned might be the default, but it certainly wasn't fixed,
even if hard to customize by non-programmers. The option to define
custom policy is still available in 3.0, 3.0 just makes the common use
case easier.

As we speak, I'm working on something that might lower the barrier a
bit, but it's still in the experimental stages.
