Crazy. I must admit I really liked the idea of having Plexus run
components that only had to implement Avalon interfaces, as then
should Plexus not do as well (e.g. you get busy with something else,
get hit by a truck, etc.) the code base could fall back on, say,
Phoenix or what not.

Not that I'm trying to influence your decision or anything, I'm sure
you have good reasons, e.g. having a clean slate and not being tied
to an existing, outside-managed API. I'll look forward to seeing
what becomes of the de-avalonization.
