I have considered merging the two by creating a "ScratchContext" of sorts (maybe FlowContext?) to hold basic data like that so it doesn't fork the state management model. It's a hassle to create Java code simply to throw a map of data into the state tree and doing it that way would work with Spring expressions reasonably well.

It's better to stick to the context tree because all the functional and conditional objects and interfaces across the system operate on the ProfileRequestContext, so it's actually more work to walk back up to the Spring state from there.
