Second, our node creation process will soon mandate a wizard API. If I have a node that can have an "attached file" relationship, is a location and is an event, there is no way to fit all that on one form page.
Vlado has already started touching on this with his relationship api. He has completely bypassed the node forms as they stand currently. Node forms are too restrictive at the moment, although the latest move that gets rid of nodeapi:form, and forces you to use form_alter might make node generating wizards simpler.
SO! To fix image, we've got more fundamental work to do!!! We need a relationship API (will Vlado's work suffice? Is it suited for this purpose?), and we need a wizzard API (Adrian, report please). My wizard API is slated for 4.8. The forms api was actually just laying the groundwork for the wizard api (or should I say workflow api.)
