Sorry - I've been busy working on the specific problem rather than the
overview, and I realised I kind of glossed over this bit:

Certainly worth considering.  I won't have the time to work on it for
while since what we have now works fine for us.  I'll be focussing my
work on new features pretty soon, once 2.4.x is stable enough that I
can trust that it will be reliable for people!  But if you want to look
at it and come up with something better for 2.5 or even further ahead,
that would be fantastic.  There's certainly plenty of parts of Cyrus
that could do with some modernising!

Thanks,

Bron.
