Those are problems *for certain types of applications*. Since I started looking at JCR in the early 2000s (no kidding) I've thought that *in some cases* being able to "just" decorate an existing set of immutable files with a JCR repository that provides metadata would be very useful. If this causes limitations like the ones you mention, so be it - but IMO Oak should provide the hooks for people who want to work like that. And if more elaborate mechanisms can help remove some of those limitations that's even better of course. -Bertrand
