Hi Chris, I absolutely get your feedback and (at least to me) its a given that we will keep GWT as open and lean as possible. It should not get in your way or impose a special way of developing. It should be a great platform to build on. Thank you for placing your feedback here, I don`t think that we can get this in at this point, but I will definitely keep it in mind.
