I only have Model classes for my business logic and have never had a problem 
with that.  A bonus is that it forces you to say:

    $c->model('MyLogic')->_get_schema->resultset('Users')

instead of:

    $c->model('Schema::Users')

and that makes you think about ugly hacks that circumvent your business logic.
