Uwe, please, could you at least discuss such classes before committing
them? While moderncv indeed looks reasonably good (although with an
awful syntax on the latex side), we try to have a policy to propose
layouts that are something else than a repository for ERT trickery and
huge preambles.

In no particular order:

- it seems to me that all the stuff you put in preamble could have its
  own layouts, declared as InTitle.

- you do not provide Subsection

- Are you sure that floats work?

- Are you sure that counters are needed?

- What about a Bibiiography environment?

I understand that commands like \cventry and friends have an horrible
syntax, but it would have been nice to try to handle them better. A
class where 80% of the marking is done through ERT is a bit useless
IMO.

I am not saying we should not support cvmodern, but if we make a
release of it as it is, we will be forced forever to support it, and I
am not sure it is a good idea.
