Unfortunately,

we're just rehashing old ground, we can agree to disagree. What
I'd just

of habit, rather than because it's the best way to do it. I see a

room for improvement and based on graph theory, can see how it

solved. I haven't ascertained from the Cayenne code how disruptive
a change
it would be, however.
Yes, there seems to be a difference in approach to managing object
graphs... I feel like I do not understand many of your examples
simply cause I've been doing things differently, so I never thought
that certain things are actually problematic.
So I suspect that there is still misunderstanding on my end as to why
you are suggesting some of these changes. Can somebody else following
this discussion maybe point out what I am missing when defending the
existing design?
