I dont see the benefit of limiting the email producer to one email.

To code that in jbpm 3 would mean creating a dynamic fork, and forking over the email node multiple times, or creating a loop in the process and looping over for each person. 

Not only is this inefficient [multiple forks or looping would produce a lot more records in logging, more records for tokens, etc] versus just allowing the email node to produce multiple emails, it is also messy looking in the process definition.

If we get a generic service for sending email for free, why not?  It is free, and it allows much more flexibility.
