But that is ONLY if there is an insistence on monolithic design. What 
might not be beyond the capabilities of the development team is to 
introduce a facility for gnucash to accept FEEDS (from external 
components). Once that capability is present, it would be possible for 
OTHER teams to come into existence to create POS and Payroll systems << 
both of those have jurisdiction dependencies so might well be just for 
this or that jurisdiction >> that would interface with gnucash and other 
external facilities like "inventory" which would be more likely 
universal << not jurisdiction dependent >>

However I've always been on the modular side in the great monolithic vs 
modular debate.
