Hello,

First, I am sorry if my sentence above seemed a bit definitive to you.
It was intended as a joke, and a way to concede Juergen's point about
the need for variation...

This is very interesting indeed. I think we should keep the two ways
of working with CJK. The classes you describe could have a 
  Provides CJK
line that would take care of not outputing \usepackage{CJK} and, more
importantly, control the use of the extra uses of the CJK environment.

However, I am not sure of one thing: do these different classes use
different fonts/encoding?
