Zend Framework 2 Module Layouts

[eokorie]

I have started looking into Zend Framework as its being used on all the projects. Having suggested we start using Zend Framework 2, I am slightly concerned that I can't get a module to use the layout that has been defined within it. I am aware of the EdpModuleLayouts plugin that was developed by Evan Coury.

But is there a reason as to why this was not implemented when the framework was released? I was having a bit of a hard time trying to determine why a new module I created wasn't using the layout I defined for it in its view folder.
