Good question, I didn't really focus on that very much. It seems that
at least the hierarchy and namespace stuff could quite easily be moved
to a separate package (or two) as a somewhat coherent set of classes.

OK, then I think we could leave it as is for now.

Sounds good. The persistence manager concept is a pretty visible one,
so moving the PersistenceManager interface and the implementation
packages to a dedicated package could clarify things.

Currently there are troublesome dependencies from PersistenceManager
to the Id classes in o.a.j.core and from the SharedItemStateManager to
PersistenceManager. Moving the Id classes to o.a.j.core.state and the
item state managers to a new package would clean these up quite
nicely, making this part of the dependency structure linear: statemgr
-> persistencemgr -> state.

Sounds good.

PS. I was contacted by Neeraj Sangal from Lattix and he's also taking
a look at Jackrabbit architecture. I'll report back when I get more
feedback from him.
