I guess that makes sense, yes. My motivation for making it a global 
setting was that for certain projects, I might have to use a different 
template engine for all packages within. So I would like to be able to 
switch out the "default" view class used by setting this in the working 
dir configuration.
Then again it does make sense to keep the default on Fluid - since 
that's what the framework packages and most 3rd party packages will rely on.
I'll just have to introduce the package specific setting in each package 
that might use a different view.
Just was curious if 'inherited' settings made any sense at all.
The FLOW3 setting configuration is already pretty interesting with it's 
layered architecture, I'm really happy how flexible it makes us in 
making things interchangable.

Thanks for the advice ;)

Greetings,
Manuel
