One of the things I'd like to do is to completely switch the base framework
over to packages, so that we can avoid some of the thornier upgrade
problems. We'd still occasionally have bc issues, but anything that *added*
functionality could just require a new package.

I haven't entirely thought it through, but I think this would let us be a
lot more flexible going forward, and pushing out new functionality.
