I would be ok with these things that are mainly a few additions to
fcdEdit, as those can be auto-generated for 90% of the code (you'd have
to add them manually for the few base types like FC, Node and NodeCore).
I just want to avoid spending a lot of dev time on back-porting things
from 2 to 1. I'd rather have people spend time on porting stuff form 1
to 2. ;)
Feel free to add them, I won't have the time anytime soon.
Yours
Dirk
