My opinion is that larger projects need a mix of agile and more longer term planned approaches (for architectural and other related concerns where a bigger picture view sometimes is more beneficial). These bigger picture items often necessarily span several sprints, especially when it comes to architecture level refactoring. > I've certainly been identifying the mapping structure as a key driver > for why performance is heard in launchpad, and I'm a huge fan of > testing with substituted interfaces - dependency injection : the bzr > test suite uses that, and the inverse, interface conformance testing - > quite a lot. > I love dependency injection. It works best when the coupling between modules and/or layers is managed well and also when used consistently throughout the product. eg it tends to break down when one module uses it and another doesn't and they both access a shared component. > So - yes, addressing this in some fashion is in the MGPP (in that its > on my radar), but we its not in anyones queue yet.

Not sure how much value I can offer short term but I'm certainly interested in doing what I can to help.
