I would personally be against a re-write of ebRIM that results in a 
direct dependancy on CCTS within the Registry specification or vica 
versa.  That would not be, IMHO, good architecture or engineering.  RIM 
is extensible enough to handle the needs of CCTS right now.

The Registry should be agnostic to how users use its' content.  It's 
scope should be as a registry and repository, nothing more.  The 
Registry team have done an excellent job of creating it as such.  Let's 
not change that.
