Hello Graham, this is an important point. Apart from the issues mentioned, a simpler architecture will help DSpace adopt to new requirements/technology changes and stay flexible and easy to manage.
Furthermore too much "clever tricks under the hood" will raise the risk that with change in the committer team (people do change jobs, or just priorities change and so the commitment) important knowledge will not be available anymore and has to be regained at some cost. Maybe we need the old arch board back or something similar. Best put this on the list for the committer and all meetings or a special meeting. Needs a bit more space to talk about.
