I did -- in the message you have reponded to ;-)
I did this to support Raphael's extension request.

For us, there was no need to change "CMFDefault" (which we do not use
at all) nor "CMFCore". Instead, we implemented the additional
flexibility in a class derived from "CMFCore.MembershipTool.MembershipTool".

Sure. And my response had not the intension to blame the CMF developpers
why a much needed feature is still not available
but only to threnghen Raphaels request for a minor extension :-)

As I understood, Raphael has one. I do not as we have a separate
"MembershipTool" (only derived from that of "CMFCore").

@Raphael: I suggest to put the extra flexibility into "CMFCore" (and not
only into "CMFDefault").
