Death of Passive View in ASP.NET MVC

The new ASP.NET MVC bits are available.

The first thing I noticed is that the view factory has disappeared from within the controller. That means that all my Passive View-style controllers are now broken and not easily fixable. Unfortunately, the only advice people have for this situation is "do Supervising Controller instead". *sigh*

Not happy.

Usability is lowered, and testability is lowered. Until I craft an easy transition system, I'm going to be sticking with the old bits.

Brad,

Please send me an example of a controller/view that uses this style. I'd like to see what you're doing specifically; I bet we can come up with something that maintains the merits you're trying to get.
