Awesome!

First, thanks for UPGRADE.md, it makes these updates much easier.
~20 maps updated and 9 apps deployed with M3 in a couple of hours (M2 -> M3). 
Most projects more or less just (1) opening/updating the projects/maps -> (2) 
Updating runtime creation code to use new APIs -> (3) re-configure logging -> 
(4) build and deploy. No surprises.
I'd call that a lovely update process, given that large-ish change in the model 
layer (removal of DataNodes — which I immediately like; think it makes the 
whole setup feel simpler).

And I think I can definitely feel improved performance? Although that should 
probably be considered conjecture for now, since I haven't measured anything 
yet. Possibly everything just feels fast after a couple of hours upgrading 
boilerplate :)

Oh, and the modeler's new clothes look really nice.

Cheers, thanks and once again, congrats on a great release!
