1. Are we dropping the experimental branch? 2. Now that we are using Java 5 I'd like to change the locking I added from syncrhonization to read/write locks as that will significantly reduce contention thread contention. 3. It is my intention (whenever I can find the time) to create an AggregateConfiguration that works similar to CompositeConfiguration but supports HierarchcialConfigurations. This will be much more memory efficient than CombinedConfiguration, at least when used in a manner similar to DynamicCombinedConfiguration, and have a lot less locking issues. However, I'd like it to be configurable from DefaultConfigurationBuilder. Needless to say, I don't see this happening for a 1.8 release if that is going to happen soon. 3. It is still on my wish list to make the hierarchical configuration the base instead of the flat structure, but that will have to wait for a 2.0.
