Right now everything is on the table. There are some technical goals though:

1) Limit dependencies on our internal frameworks which burned us in the 
past (chicken-egg) and prevents users from deploying "slimmer" configs 
with a web console
2) Reduce the ridiculous storage overhead (i think its like 35+ megs 
when you count libs in common, half when you don't)
3) Have login time not be insanely slow
4) Have a modern UI that is capable of representing complex domain 
topologies.

A working group with various folks (including you) should be forming 
sometime soon, and architecture will be one of the first things that 
will be looked at.
