Entry points are certainly more user friendly than raw classnames, but
they are still an intrusion of internal architecture
into the user domain. It is still making the user think of processing
steps, rather than just objects to be stored.
It may be sufficiently friendly that it is better than having two layers
of configuration, but better labeling of the pipes
does not change the fact that you are asking the end user to understand
the plumbing.
