The e4view extension point forces the customer to code with the model
manually for menus and toolbars instead of getting this from the model. If
the model integration in 3x is complete I am leaning towards +1 for
removing it (not that I have a say). We should not be afraid to give the
early adopters a little bit more work. That is why they are an early
adopter right? Especially when they have a better solution (assuming this
is available of course).

Not as a hard requirement, but to be really useful in the E3 world, the
"pure e4view" should have the following things:

1. The E4 and E3 selection services are not bridged - (would be cool to fix
for M6)
2. The "pure e4view" is not a first class citizen in the e4 workbench
(quick search??, view menu??, Tom and Paul have given some hints about
this, would be cool to fix for M6 as well)
3 .. other things??


Cheers,

Wim
