90 >Large parts of <SPAN
91 CLASS="APPLICATION"
92 >eCos</SPAN
93 > were developed concurrently with the development
94 of the configuration technology, or in some cases before design work
95 on that technology was complete. As a consequence the various <SPAN
96 CLASS="APPLICATION"
97 >eCos</SPAN
98 >
99 packages often make only limited use of the available functionality.
100 This situation is expected to change over time. It does mean that many
101 of the descriptions in this guide will not correspond exactly to how
102 the <SPAN
103 CLASS="APPLICATION"
104 >eCos</SPAN
105 > packages work right now, but rather to how they could work.
106 Some of the more extreme discrepancies such as the location of on-line
107 documentation in the component repository will be mentioned in the
108 appropriate places in the guide.</P
109 ><P
110 >A consequence of this is that developers of new components can look at
111 existing <SPAN
112 CLASS="APPLICATION"
113 >CDL</SPAN
114 > scripts for examples, and discover discrepancies
115 between what is recommended in this guide and what actually happens at
116 present. In such cases this guide should be treated as authoritative.</P
117 ><P
118 >It is also worth noting that the current component framework is not
119 finished. Various parts of this guide will refer to possible changes
120 and enhancements in future versions. Examining the source code of the
121 configuration tools may reveal hints about other likely developments,
122 and there are many more possible enhancements which only exist at a
123 conceptual level right now.</P
