Hivemind stands on its own as a way of offering services into core program functionality, therefore you should think of it as separate to Tapestry. Tapestry is just one possible (sophisticated) way of offering in services. But it is possible to think of use cases where you might want, say persistence or security, without the need to deal with the http request response cycle or with rendering of html. Usecases would include, but not restricted to, dealing with asynchronous messaging and transforming one set of data (maybe acquired from db) dependant on another (say in the form of a message queue).
