Ananth: can you add these comments to the JIRA (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/APEXCORE-576) instead of following up on the email thread? Thanks

Today I see Malhar as a strong reason to convince someone that we can interconnect many things as part of the offering. The moment we put a layered process, my only concern is that the review process would be very very loose and hence lower quality creeping in as Apex committers need not necessarily review such packages and hence provide inputs to the evolving Apex core etc. There is a risk that things might diverge more than we want them to ? Thoughts ?
