I consider an appliance appropriate for micro-scale component management. On the other hand a block is macro. Keep in mind that I'm staying very close to the Cocoon functional requirements when I refer to block - which is different from the Phoenix term. Phoenix notion of Block is a collection of classes + single meta info definition. This is equivalent to the Assembly/Merlin definition of a component type.Thats the difference, appliance brings up macro-scale to me. And relative to a block, being "more macro". (Even when considering cocoon-style blocks, an appliance makes me thing of an aggregation of blocks).
I saw you use Appliance/Assembly in another message. Assembly conjures up the correct mental image to go with what you are describing.
