[Erp5-dev] Why not catalog 'instalation state' and 'building state' of BTs?

[Mikolaj Antoszkiewicz]

Ok. I understand that adding extra two fields to catalog might not be 
very efficient since only Business Templates use them.
Maybe another approach would be to use existing state variables, like 
validation state instead of installation state
and simulation state instead of building state for example.

Maybe substituting validation for installation is a bit stretching the 
meaning (although installed BT are in a way validated), but maybe just 
enough to ease life of a developer... :D
