That would be good, also in light with how that sentence continues:

"I suspect what we need to try and achieve is to get DBIC a bit more 
decentralised - have it be a specific framework build atop a 
more-like-Plack-for-DB-stuff - but you already know that's what I have in mind 
and we both already know it's going to be a big-ass job and we'll see if it pans 
out or not."

My own near term planned contributions to DBIC are precisely what you said 
above.  They would constitute a more-like-Plack-for-DB ecosystem and in 
particular they should benefit DBIC by optimizing it more for maintainability, 
so it is easier for others to add features or make changes or otherwise just be 
more confident that it works properly.  If things go as I hope, this should 
start to land in about a month.
