This happens to be minimum numbers for working with a particular
Application Server marketed by a well-known database vendor by the name
of Oracle Corp.

I agree, but I should be able to expand and contract this middle tier
monster in a very similiar fashion. Hey, I want some functionality, get
it, configure it, install use it, derive from it, whatever. On the
other hand, if I don't want, I can wipe it out without horking up the
entire system.
A degree of independence, sort of like the model driving a light weight
operating system, where the base is a skeleton framework and I can plug
in services, and uplug them, as necessary. I can create said services
from existing ones via extension, or scratch together my own for a
particular need.
So CPAN has the concept just right.

Yeah, right.
