I would support any effort to add more control to the framework. I support
having many committers involved in the framework (so it doesn't become
stagnant), but at the same time it would be nice to have better control over
framework releases (so it can be reliable). David's suggestion of a separate
branch for the framework is an excellent idea.

A separate branch along with David's proposal for configuration in Moqui
(below) would also make security updates to production ofbiz
installations much easier too. Framework code (which shouldn't be
changed by the end user) such as the entityengine could be updated just
by replacing the entityengine.jar file.
"Configuration files are meant to come from a runtime directory and are not
spread around the code. There is a default-conf directory in the framework
so that if a configuration file is left out the framework will have a
default
to fallback on that will work in most cases."
