The following are pretty clearly first class modules:
core VM core
mm Memory management (GC etc)
exec Execution engine (JIT, interpreter, adaptive policies)
lib Class libraries

There are other modules which may either be a) first class modules, or
b) sub-modules, but either way probably should be pluggable
(sub)modules. Here are a few that come to mind...
exec.jit Compiler instances
exec.iterpreter Interpreter instances
core.scheduler Threading and scheduling
core.object Object model
core.classloader Class loader
core.os Operating system services
Thoughts?
What is a sensical way to modularize the rest? Guessing more :
core.scheduler
core.object
core.classloader
core.so
core.?
mm.objectAllocation
mm.GC
mm.?
exec.jit
exec.jit.compiler
exec.jit.compiler.static
exec.jit.compiler.dynamic
exec.interpreter
exec.?
lib.?
I know that for things outside of Harmony proper like GNU Classpath
as a class library implementation, we'd have to badger, cajole, and
do the work, but it's worth trying to come to a complete model.
