Thanks for the feedback Florent,

Mind opening a JIRA issue [1] so we can properly track this? Also, I see no
problem in your patch, as it should be backwards compatible, so if you want
to open a PR with it, that would make things move faster :)

Regarding Rocoto, IIRC we only use it to parse the properties provided to
the context when building it, but I think we should be able to remove it,
as it does not provide many value IMO. I'd suggest to add a separate issue
for that so we can properly work on it too.


Thx!

I.
