I a customerwhich are already using this extension point to migrate their
views to the new e4 programming model. I think it is a real nice way to
migrate almost painless. The e4 wrapper provide the same functionality but
for the customer having this as default option was a big win.

So obviously I would like to keep this option, even if fragment integration
is solved.

Best regards, Lars
