I agree but what I meant is to make it configurable per enumeration type
attribute. For attributes with enumerations with a limit set of value
the combo box is perfectly fine. In our case we want to collect country
as one of the attributes. This results in a combo box of ~250 values. In
this case I would probably prefer the list component, especially because
the paging mechanism in the list component is better than in the combo
box in my opinion.

Again, this makes only sense if it is configurable on a per attribute case.
