==============

The manner in which layers were used in the old Ax was pretty clear, we had

SYS, SYP Used by the core system
GLS, GLP Used by the initial added modules which were bought in (CRM from Hands Norway, Product builder from Aston (now Tectura) HRM from Circle Capital, Shop Floor from Thy Data Center.
LOS, LOP Used by some countries to add functionality
DIS, DIP Used by most countries for localisation
BUS,BUP Used initially by partners freely then only by invitation in an early version of IBI (Industry Builder Initiative)
VAR,VAP Used by the partners to put their code in
CUS,CUP Reserved for the customer
USR,USP Reserved for the customers

Today in V4, the first 4 are all now in SYS and I am told discussions are ongoing right now as we speak as to where to put what as regards corrections.
I would say do not be greedy:
You have freed up 3 Layers
How about designating one GLS GLP as still for internal use
and freeing UP LOS LOP for IBI use
Leaving DIS DIP empty (replace it later to add another level of user layer )

Give back both BUS and VAR to the dealers freely as it was in 2.5 and V3 initially.

And in a future version give the freed layer to the customers who also need in many cases another layer for their use.

Be a great X-Mas present a clear IBI Layer and an added Dealer layer as well as an added Customer layer

Of course it will not be easy to move things around, as the whole object numbering scheme depends upon this and moving them around is not that easy. Renumbering the objects has some dreadfull consequences all sorts of places.

But hey the clean up has given the opportunity, and I always though Erik D. when he designed it was being greedy taking 4 of the layers for the systems out of the 8 available ( not counting the patch layers ). So rebalancing is now a possibility perhaps.
