Publish Layouts

Difference between layouts is obvious:
1 View-only is akward, old and slow (no dimensions for publish, blobs for value storing etc)
2 Table-only is modern, smooth and fast (dimensions, option to specify data types for publish and more)

But I just cannot understand why annotation_user table is created only in View-Only mode. This table contains precious user_guid – user_name relations.  It’s needed for user access monitoring (via nodestate) and for a lot more things.
And in Table-only annotating user are stored explicitly in an_ tables and there is no way of linking user_guids to names. And no replacement is available.

So I just have to publish both ways, to get annotationuser table and to get nice&fast reports.

Gosh..
