I agree!

One exclusion breaks the rule forever. So regardless how cool it is, it can be included only and only if ti follows the rule. TemplaVoila is too critical for the business of many companies to break rules in its development. I expect that Niels will make a proper patch with this feature. I could take his patch, decipher it and add myself but it would (1) delay other features that I want to include and (2) take much more time than if he does it.

We will see how it goes. I also want to see that mapping interface changes in TV very much but now it is up to Niels only to write a proper patch. I cannot do much here :(
