Same issue here, why would you need the exporter as a separate platform 
module?
IMO, you should have a single platform module for the office 
import/export functionality, and have the server management, importer 
and exporter as nested modules.
Even if this proves to be insufficient  in the future, you should not 
hurry the transition today since there's no actual roadmap for the 
exporter or other possible features.
