I would have to disagree with this. Nobody says that app_layout.cfm has to
be one way or another. You could rewrite it to take a var called layout and
have it switch layouts based on it.
I've started rewriting app_layout.cfm to do this and feel that more
flexibility in the actual layout is good. The only problem I see with
modifying this file, is the Hal's ideas about complete portability of
fusebox apps.
Maybe we can collectively rewrite this and agree on a few layouts that make
sense.
