Hello,

This reminds my of my craints when i got to know that base_contact was
removed from 6.2 branch. Anybody else concerned with the base_contact
approach for 7.0?

On 24.08.12 I sent to the list the following Email text:

> The location in 6.1 was a good approach as the address remained the
> object so assign to all other modules. This was not the case in 6.0
> where many modules had to be adapted to cope with jobs instead of
> address (and the address was used as location).
>
> We finalised the 6.1 approach with the missing features from 6.0 (see

> /trunk-> bug-923440-base_contact_finalise6.1)
> and will soon migrate to 6.1 such that we can use all modules with the
> address.

> I hope that a good solution in Version 7 will be prepared.

Best Regards

Etienne
