There is regularly some complaining about too much indirection and complexity when it concerns IRequestCycleProcessor. We went from a too monolithic RequestCycle to a too complex one, where we probably don't need half of the flexibility.
The discussion I'd like to start here is whether people have ideas to do some basic damage control for 1.3 and 2.0. I think we already have too much on our plates to work for 4 months to get the ultimate-mother-of-all request cycle implementations (and even that one would probably get people in the curtains within a year... it's just how writing software works), but what we can do is see whether we can do some simple refactorings that takes away 50% of the pain. So... any ideas anyone? Eelco
