yeah, I've spent the last 2 years writing the MetaData module and pretty much all of our pipeline is based on it in some form or another. Pretty much regrounded from scratch but keeping the factory aspects of the Eurocom setups, just a nice way of doing it via the mclass attrs. Modified all the behaviour to fit how we work here, making it easier to add and manage attrs and walk netwroks etc. But there's lots of expansion going on to the systems now that Red9 is a business and we have clients paying for this stuff!
There's already an ID on the nodes which I guess I could cache against, or yes, add a UID, but surprised that the MObject stuff didn't give me this in the first place.
