Perhaps my problem is that I am not exactly sure what the goals are.
Cleanup (BL mixed in the BL seems wrong)?  HA or performance (are people
hitting limits that are traced to SQL) ?  Flexibility/Research
(plug-able modules for experimentation)?  I think it would help scope
the effort (and temper my concern about the work/reward ratio) if they
were enumerated in clear place.
