7.2 B1 - Auto-Propagation of fragments
I played a bit around with fragments and I find it really annoying that I have to propagate each change. That propagate feature is probably really nice in production, but not so much in dev/test environments.
While it is quite nice to have a quick preview of the content in the down-right box, it simply isn't the same as seeing the content on the page. We often need to refresh pages to see the change "in a real environment" or e.g. use browserstack to check if the fix indeed works with Internet Explorer.
It would be really helpful, at least for development, to have a "publish, don't close the editor AND propagate" button instead of only a "Publish" button.
(I hope, when they are deployed, the new versions are automatically used everywhere)

Personally I'm not even considering the remote possibility of taking fragments seriously ... until the feature becomes stable. I'll play around with it but without being stable I can't advise anyone make that switch and advise production use of web content templates. Is there a Liferay version on the roadmap where fragments are considered done / feature complete?
Currious though, are fragments global? If I say need to make a design change make a change to the "blue" in the fragment, will it go to all sites like web content should?
