Sounds fine to me. Maybe the new egg can be mostly BBB shims / "impedance matching." > - Move the ZMI parts of AccessControl into the App package.

I'm not so sure about anything related to the userfolder, though, unless moving it is a huge win.

BTW, making *all* the products seaparate eggs seems like a good plan to me.
