That isn't bad news. That is on purpose. What is wrong with you just doing
RunData.getOut() within your screen and returning data that way instead of
via a return from the Screen. (ie: return null;). You can do the same exact
thing in your Layout/Page/Navigation.

No, you can do it other ways (as described above).

Probably not since it isn't needed. There are other ways to do the same
thing without modifying core Turbine/ECS.

No, switching is kind of drastic, don't you think?
You should implement it another way that doesn't require the modifications
since that is a viable and easy way to do things.
