The thing to remember, the thing which stopped me from a rewrite, is that it
works. Maybe everything is not as decoupled as we would like but the code
serves a lot of people and the majority of the time most people don't have
see a lot of the more esoteric portions of torque.

I think by defining some clear interfaces for persistent objects (which John
has started), and closing off some of the internals that people can move
forward without much pain.

This is done, the Torque testbed is a demonstration of this.
