Hi Guys

Thanks for your prompt response. So, it seems I was mistaken in thinking 
that no one used the pv layer. No fear, it will certainly stay in this case.

I could use some help with testing when I make a new release, though.

I don't think this would make much sense. I would have to plaster the 
sequencer code with conditional compilation directives, not a goal I aspire 
to.

Now that I know it actually gets used, I'd rather see if I can make the CA 
binding more efficient. So far, I have not yet changed anything significant 
in the pv layer. If I find that I need additional functionality from CA, I 
might ask you guys if it is possible to do something similar with KTL so we 
can extend the pv API.

Ok, I am looking forward to hear from you.
