Having a conversation which also is able to control the orm layer, secondly, it is not a real breakage of existing dialog systems and adding yet another one. This stuff originated in the tag space and now has been moved into spring 2.0 as a showcase of what spring scopes can do. It currently has no configuration whatsoever regarding dialog scopes. It currently is along the lines of an extende flash scope with an added orm controller. In the long run a layer like Shale Dialog can provide is heavily needed to add another layer of possible control (Expecially for clearer Begin and Endconversation control) So I do not see neither fusion as a direct competitor to shale dialog nor to spring webflow, it is more along the lines of a scope provider which in the end can benefit of a more extended configuration based dialog system.
