I fully agree that things should be done in steps. Furthermore I am quite 
confused as to why one would want the FBox to be essentially the identity of 
the user himself, and not simply be a user-managed repository of services for 
the user, which can and should be easily replaceable/duplicable.
To me, the architecture of the software should be one that is heavily 
abstracted, with everything as a service with API entrypoints, and service 
configuration being automatic (think zeroconf). Therefore, necessitating 
thoughtful consideration as to what/how/where that core user-centric config 
data should reside.
I think we need a working group for that kind of skeleton work which would help 
into bootstrapping services on a stepwise basis.
