The idea is that by having systemNavigation is class like stringHolder 
all the subclass avoid to duplicate SystemNavigation new and still be 
able to override it. Now I do not want to put
systemNavigation in Object (sure we could use a class extension) but 
for the moment I'm waiting to have a better package management (even if 
avi will do the right remark that monticello is working and DVS as 
well). So if ***you*** reviewers, guides tell us we are really stupid 
and we should have used DVS I will say why not but for the moment we do 
not have a decomposition of the system in terms of packages.

We know we fixed that as soon as we realized that it was stupid. The 
PROBLEM is that
not all the changesets (where this is fixed) have been harvested. I 
said it, said it
and said it again but there is nothing I can do except apologize to 
have been stupid at first.

By the way michael cleaning the system is not that fun and I ask 
regurlarly for design idea
because I do not think that I have all the answers (the past proved 
it). Now just
participate, read the propositions, browse the changesets, ....help us 
to push this out of the door.
