It's true the mixin does not support GridDataSource, probably should but it works OK for most things as is. To support really large collections the pagination component would also need to be rewritten since it displays a link per page and that would not work well for thousands of pages. The other thing that got lost in my conversion to Bootstrap 2 was the mixin that allowed infinite scrolling if javascript is enabled. Perhaps it's time for some updates.
