Hi,
sure, the new developments have priority, no question.

More or less, since he can only save wmc from his current set of wms.

It's just that the functionality of adding any wms(-url) to the gui 
might not be in the user's
security context (so module addWMS is not in the gui), whereas loading and
saving wmc with the wms-services that lie inside his security context is 
very
valuable (modules load/savewmc are present in the gui). At the moment 
this is not
possible because there is a dependancy of loadwmc with addWMS.
