    Maybe direct objects, a carryover from webobjects? Or derived
    objEntities? I don't really know either.

    Cgen versioning is independent of cayenne. Not sure if there's any
    point in trying change how it's done, as that will always be the case.

    +1. I think that cgen v1.2 is proven technology at this point, and I
    can't think of any reason why we need to officially support older
    templates in Cayenne 3.0.
