Yes. :)

The connection framework under discussion in e4 is lower level in the
sense that it would be a building block for projects like ECF, WTP, DTP
and others that need "connections" to something.

It is also higher level with respect to abstraction in that it would
express connection notions in generic terms such as connect(),
disconnect() and let the implementation decide exactly what that means.
