I'll second that "doesn't feel right" attitude. But then again, what feels really
good is being able to upsell your client on the conversion knowing that you're doing
more than just maintainance. You're developing a platform that all future developers
on the site will understand and (hopefully) will stick to. In the long run, the
Fusebox style is better.
