It is a tremendously powerful system. We shouldn't jump into using it unawares, but we would also be missing a huge opportunity to pass up this system of storing meta-data rich structures and renderable content.
Jeff and I just discussed on IRC... Whereas, there's no solid agreement yet on if/how this should happen, and Whereas, even a partial implementation of this to fix $node namespace bugs would require a massive patch that breaks all of contrib and every patch in the core queue right now, and Whereas, neither of us has time for the massive effort it would take to write and maintain such a patch, and, Whereas, neither of us want to be responsible for the D6 equivalent of the "4.7 FAPI debacle" at this late hour in the development cycle, and Whereas, there are lots of other great patches that could use our collective attention that *do* still have a chance of landing for D6... Therefore, be it resolved, that we're hereby "throwing in the towel" (giving up) on trying to get this into D6. Jeff already added a section on "node structuring" to the DrupalCon agenda in September. We both agree that giving this proper thought and doing it completely and early in D7 is the best course of action. Active >> Postponed ;) Thanks, -Derek
