Well that would make it hard to have multiple implementations as part of
the same JAR file, test sets, etc. Different implementations with the
exactly the name seems problamatic to manage for multiple reasons. Not
even talking about the lack of tool support for creating your mocks.
Interfaces gives an ultimate freedom and allow for minimal dependencies
and I don't see why we can't factor out some of the functionality of SDM
e.g. into an interface, do you Bob?
Many things are possible, priority is the question.
Well that I consider a big leap forward :-) I agree with the priorities,
but I think it is worth an issue in JIRA (Rick?).
