+    views.
+    
+    The greatness lies in the fact that with that, you can have specific
+    inherited views for specific groups, so you can radically change a view
+    for some groups without having to redefine any of the window actions
+    involved.
+
+    Using it for 6.1 modules instead of fields_view_get hacks and the like
+    also lowers the effort it takes to port the module in question to 7.0
