I would like to start collecting all ideas and bring that in a structure. My idea here would be to define a sort of architecture. Means: The service you are talking about I would like to call "core system services (CSS)" which are part of "primary system services (PSS)". Other PSS could be security, persistence, meta info etc. In addition to that, I would like to see "optional system services" like printing, messaging etc. Most of those system services should be offered through contexts. To cluster requirements like that would give a clear picture who could implement what and about the direction Merlin will go.
