Hi John, Thanks for sharing your feedback. I must say I agree with your points, and have some others concerning database i/o options or a graphical version of refactor field alg.
All this would very nice fit into a QEP so that we can centralize thoughts and requirements in a more collaborative way than redmine issues. We should even go a bit further and lead a dedicated group of interest - like the one Tim is leading for metadata. However, this is a big task and we'll need a way to leverage ressources, time and money for leading this.
