I agree, in principle, but we have to decide if we want to keep the door 
open to the publication of Specific Enablers
that may be deployed, in the future, in a FI-WARE Instance.

once you selected "Enablers" from the main menu you can find the list of 
the chapters on the right column.
They act like a filter for the published GEIs ... I think that filter is 
not particularly visible, and I think it can be
improved when the new look & feel will be implemented.
