Dear Herman, no, I don't think this is routine, yet! First of all, instrument manufacturers need to catch up. What's on the market is quite behind what is possible - although, I don't have the instrument I'd love to have, but at least the meta data transfer to the image headers only works when you work with a native CCD camera (stone age, I know), not with a hybrid pixel detector.
Secondly, Lukas Palatinus' software is, as far as I know, not yet compatible with the rotation method, i.e. when you use XDS or DIALS or mosflm, etc, you cannot use his software for dynamic refinement. I also understand that dynamic refinement is quite time consuming. Lukas is working on this, though.
