Hi,

Using one eventType is the limitation of current implementation. Change
in it would influent to most of services, because the NMWG interface
should be change. It would need all developers to modify their services.

Now we have getEventType() method that returns single EventType. In
psBase2 I improved two methods getEventTypes() that returns a collection
of EventTypes, and getAnyEventType() - to keep the compatibility,
however most of services must be changed (in psBase2 the process of
changing services and reviewing the code will be done anyway, so it will
be easier).

For the 3.1 release we won't be supporting multiple eventTypes (for
nmwg:metadata) because it'd slow down the release process for next
couple of weeks or months.

Best regards
Maciej
