It seems to me that you are a bit on the defensive side, and this mail
does not seem to be constructive.
My first reaction to the coplet stuff was "Forrest is not a portal!",
but then I tried to understand better, and it seems to make more sense.
I'm not saying that I want it, but I agree with Ross that there is some
interesting stuff there.
Maybe reading this could help in understanding why Forrest as a portal
could make sense:

You are right, I will play around with the Cocoon Portal, before I will
enter this discussion again. ;-)

:-)
I'm not saying I want it either. I'm simply saying that we should
explore it.

Yes. I agree this is an interesting thread (that takes me back a very
long time too ;-)
It is great to see how close we are too the original concept, but also a
shame that we are so far from the implementing the complete wish list.
