I do understand the point that the current wizard implementation seems
bloated and overly complex, so I don't object that we think about a similar
goaled project, but I would a bit reluctant to actually start implementing
it before being suffiently certain that the gain would be worth all the
trouble and the extra maintainance costs. ('extra' because I don't foresee
actual dropping of the editwizards).
