I don't see any other direction for OFBiz to aspire towards. Always good to have a superset of
features, then customize or cut down for specialized needs.
Eg, the Party concept is flexible and great, so I can even make my cat a "person". So is the
Product concept, allowing for multi-level BOMs easily.
By the way, I've just completed my testing of the Job Shop problem (the reason I started this
thread). Will post my findings in this thread.

The generic nature of OfBiz is one of the most irritating things for
everyone and at the same time OfBiz's greatest asset.
What a funny world we live in!

Seems funny to be discussing an auto-installer and stripping out
all the
jars in the same week!
I guess it just goes to show how different people's perspectives are.
Yes, this is a perfect example of the glory of the open source
way... ;) If there is an opinion, it will come out sooner or later,
and sometimes some interesting combinations all at once.
It's years of hearing these sorts of perspectives that has lead me to
lose my faith (well, not that I ever really had any) in a one size
fits all type of solution for just about anything.
