[ome-devel] Shoola release and server synch. issues

[Harry Hochheiser]

I've identified a concern regarding the Shoola  release candidate and 
synchronization with the server code. Currently, the chainbuilder 
depends upon access to new facades that have been added to the server. 
These facades provide hand-optimized retrieval for modules and chains, 
based on the performance optimizations I was doing a little while ago.

As a result of this change, the chain and module retrieval in HEAD 
won't currently work unless it's run against the server taht's in HEAD.

I can see three possible ways around this.
	
1)  Have a synchronized server release to go with the shoola release.

2) Modify Shoola HEAD to temporarily "back out" of using the new 
facades.

3) Modify Shoola HEAD to respond gracefully if the facade is 
unavailable, falling back to the old-fashioned way of doing things.

Personally, I'd prefer #1, but #3 should be doable without too much 
work ..

my apologies for not spotting this issue earlier.
