Now I feel that it is a waste of time to discuss this with them. Their 
attitude is " do not want to change anything unless backward 
compatibility is perfectly reserved ". I don't think this can be fixed 
with no risk on backward compatibility. And, clearly enough, ERP5 is 
one of few CMF-based projects which are really complex and dynamic. So 
most people don't need to fix this problem.

Thus I think a better way would be:

- Fix this by a dynamic patch

or

- Make a new type information class for ERP5

I will choose the former one at the moment.
