CORBA works well, CMP not always :-). CORBA is good for integration purposes -> but I have nothing against pruning it. The leaner the standard, the better it is.

Maybe we can fix that this time. I don't know how others feel, but I would also like to prune the CORBA interoperability. All this stuff was fine in the late 90s/early 2000s. It's just an eyesore in 2011/2012 and a reminder of why so many people still dread EJB despite all of our efforts to make it a truly lightweight technology.
