I believe the argument here was that the "better" approach is to properly 
support user generated/managed types to achieve local customization 
requirements.  There was even talk of using (I'm going to get the terminology 
all wrong, forgive me) base/parent types to bound the access permissions of 
these user/child types which isn't something that is easily expressed through 
MCS.
