Because it would involve manual labour for any object that is going to be used in business logic. This would create artificial requirement that is easily forgotten. However first try-out of this approach used postCopy in domain objects. I thought that copyTwoLevel is going to be deprecated because it is too specific. However I am not sure whether this is actually true. It depends how often copying objects is necessary. The deprecation is not a problem. I can easily just create utility class that copies objects like copyTwoLevel. -- Panu
