	The reasons Gnome didn't use the CCM are several fold; primarily it
post-dates Gnome, and looked as if it would never freeze. Secondarily
while bonobo/CCM share the name 'component' model; the CCM is designed
primarily for 3 tier solution provision, replacing EJBs (AFAIR) - while
Gnome's components are targeted ~exclusively at desktop component use.

	Having said that; I'd be happy to see an ORBit-CCM module with an
implementation of the CCM ;-) 

	Regards,

		Michael.
