Description

MessageImpl is final, which makes it hard to extend for custom models. None of the other classes in the model package is final, so in the interest of consistency could the final be removed there as well?

My work-around for this issue is currently to have a complete copy of the MessageImpl class in my model implementation, but that obviously makes updating hard.
