The providers branch includes the first Providable item in Symphony, Datasource: Remote. The idea is that this replaces the Dynamic XML datasource so ideally we will need to think of an update strategy for the Dynamic XML datasources for previous versions.

I see two options, one easy (but needs a little backtracking), one potentially more time consuming:

- Leave Dynamic XML datasources in 2.3, so that existing ones will continue to work. Datasource: Remote will be available for users who want the 'updated' functionality.
- Attempt to load in all Dynamic XML datasources and resave them as Remote datasources.

The other question is do we bundle Datasource: Remote as a submodule (ie. create a new repo), or do we just bundle it in Symphony?
