Boleslaw Dawidowicz commented on JBPORTAL-1637:
-----------------------------------------------

If you want to have separate config for UserPortlet I should probably move some of those options to your file because it'll be doubled. But when I think about it....
2 separate files with similar content - a list of properties but with different parameters... looks like a config nightmare to me :)
So to add remove a property you need to put that info into two files. Maybe it would be better to workout common list of meta-data describing user property and extend current property-info.xml. The nature of the API is that its easy to extend and difficult to remove :)

The question is: What does it buy us to have separate configuration for UserPortlet for stuff that can be gathered from existing metadata.

There will be changes in identity in 2.8 but for this part it should be rather evolution than revolution.
