I agree with your definition of the problem, but not the solution.

My take on this is that the different comps are not well introduced.  It is related to 
my
assertion that the term 'Avalon' is misused.  It is a project, but people use it to 
mean some
interfaces, some utilities, some containers.  We should be real careful with our ose 
of terms in
this mail list and on our web-pages.  This is what I have leared through trying to 
explain what
Avalon is (and is not) to others, including very accomplished developers.  I do not 
think any
wholescale code/package/directory changes are needed.
