Hi Alok,

I admit to now knowing the inner-workings of DC, but I would be wary for
splitting things into to many parts unnecessarily.

I'm not sure about the fact that you won't be able to call transfer directly -
at least I seem to remember, from various discussions, that there was mention of
being able to specify transfer checkpoints in the XML Manifest - e.g. running
CPIO or IPS transfers with varied arguments - thus allowing users to install
additional packages, or files.

Is this not the case?

This is indeed the case -- various transfer checkpoints can
be specified in the XML manifest.

However, it does not seem that other DC checkpoints (or
finalizers in the current implementation) can call transfer directly. This presents an interesting challenge to DC. That's the point my initial email was trying to make.
