And that's my only point -- nothing you mention requires dropping the 
existing WiX CAs, just tweaks to them. XmlConfig, for example, is 
definitely a low-level piece of functionality but it's entirely possible 
to build higher-level extensions on top of it. I wrote vaguely about 
that on my blog: http://www.joyofsetup.com/2007/07/01/semi-custom-actions/.

But that's not going to happen unless we get focused feature requests 
(e.g., "XmlConfig is hard to use for scenario Q for reasons A,B,C"). 
One-off custom actions don't help anybody in the long run.
