+## Log setup needs to be less lame

+##  The horrible hack for plugin setup - replacing it:
+
+ * Have a look at the Devel::REPL BEFORE_PLUGIN stuff
+   I wonder if what we need is that combined with plugins-as-roles
+
+## App / ctx split:
+
+  NOTE - these are notes that t0m thought up after doing back compat for
+         catalyst_component_class, may be inaccurate, wrong or missing things
+         bug mst (at least) to correct before trying more than the first 2
+         steps. Please knock yourself out on the first two however :)
+
+  - Eliminate actions in MyApp from the main test suite
+  - Uncomment warning in C::C::register_action_methods, add tests it works
+    by mocking out the logging..
+  - Remove MyApp @ISA controller (ask metaclass if it has attributes, and if
+                                  so you need back compat :/)
+  - Make Catalyst::Context, move the per request stuff in there, handles from
+    main app class to delegate
+  - Make an instance of the app class which is a global variable
+  - Make new instance of the context class, not the app class per-request
+  - Remove the components as class data, move to instance data on the app
+    class (you probably have to do this for _all_ the class data, good luck!)
+  - Make it possible for users to spin up different instances of the app class
+    (with different config etc each)
+  - Profit! (Things like changing the complete app config per vhost, i.e.
+    writing a config loader / app class role which dispatches per vhost to
+    differently configured apps is piss easy)
+

+
+### Next large steps:
+
+  - Moving setup_components etc into the container
+
+    - This is so that you can just load the container and get models etc from it,
+      without loading Catalyst.
+
+  - Allowing people to change component lifecycles
+
+    - This is done by being able to use an alternate Service class..
+
+      I.E. We currently force everything to do Catalyst/IOC/Service/WithAcceptContext.pm, but
+      things without an ACCEPT_CONTEXT could just not bother, and it would be nice to have
+      one that cached the object in request scope (i.e. Catalyst::Component::InstancePerContext)
+      etc.
+
+      However we need to work out an interface for people to setup / configure this.
+
+### To polish off
+
+  - Document current methods
+  - +    $class->container->get_sub_container('model')->make_single_default;
++    $class->container->get_sub_container('view')->make_single_default;
