Thanks Gunnar, I'm wondering the same. At the same time though, I would rather avoid the work of adapting the SQM code to an ORM version which was not meant to be compatible with it. I'd rather wait with that until we base OGM on ORM6 and invest the saved energy otherwise. Mine is not a technical suggestion, but just an observation that such work would only benefit very selected OGM releases: it doesn't bring long term value. If we have spare cycles to dedicate on the parser work (which I doubt anyway) I'd rather us start working on the ORM6 previews as soon as there's a testable branch to make sure that future integration will be great.
