I believe the general concensus was to support all three (four?) asset server configs (internal, local, grid, hg(?)) but refactor the code paths.<BR>
<BR>
While I do understand the confusion, I have already shown how we could re-arrange the services so that we get a uniform set of interfaces - ideally, the config option should turn from specifying a mode to specifying a module and its config.<BR>
