First, you read have read Mai... Sorry, i'm a bit overworked and i wrote 
too quickly. ;(
(Damn, we are in March, this is my birthday soon and i'm completly lost 
in time...)

I know this is still dev quality. I already ran into the code. You might 
have guess that our software is also still alpha. So we did choose to be 
prepared for the next container. This is why we want to work on it.

However if we get out sooner than we expected then our application will 
come out of the box with minimal configuration for Merlin too. (even if 
it's unusual) As our application bootstrap is a service implementation 
developped independently from its main functionnality, we are not 
affraid to move. We developped the minimal container abstraction we 
needed so that we can do this quickly.

A+. Didier.
