Thread-topic: datamodel impls are final

Hi folks,

What is the reason for the impl classes being final?

I find it a bit cumbersome. Shure nobody should really subclass this for real but sometimes this is convenient, particularly for tests.

I vote to just doc that subclassing is at own risk, after all they are in the impl. package
