There is no mechanism in CouchDB that people should use "instead of MVCC" whereas in most cases people shouldn't use _temp_views at all and we make the case that we don't really need them at all. Why should we keep them (other

Being able to easily play/debug with views is presumably a net win.

Via Futon, Chris will prepare a patch that keeps the current behaviour.
Other libraries exist (CouchRest), are in the process of being updated
(couchdb-python) and can easily be written.

I can't say for sure without seeing a more concrete proposal on how this would be handled, but all the approaches I can imagine would be quite the hack, leaving such "temp" design docs lying around in some cases, and causing conflict errors when you somehow try to do two or more queries at the same time.

And wasn't JChris' suggestion for Futon to prompt for the design/view name before running?
