I suspect Andreas understands this just fine, Philipp. I agree with the 
message, but I don't think Andreas needs to hear it very urgently. :)

Anyway, the utility story exists in Five, though only on a global level 
-- we don't have support for local utilities yet (which exist only in a 
certain subsite), though Sidnei's been doing some work on this. I've 
found that global is often good enough anyway, and that local 
flexibility that you think you need can frequently be minimized or even 
eliminated. I don't know though whether that makes sense here or not.
