Maybe instead of a common base class, a way to globally configure the flushmode setting. Say, a way to configure begins to use flushmode=MANUAL by default. Maybe this could be configured in components.xml. This would save a lot of what is generally boilerplate configuration since this is common usage. Thoughts?
