Why is it better to modify FormActions (that's the place you define 
destinations, right?) than to modify Actions? If there is something 
wrong with the configuration of default Actions (and it is) we should 
improve them instead of adding a second kind of Actions.

A validation machinery is missing in CMF. But I don't think that 
justifies adding CMFFormController.
