Dear Anatoly,

THERP's initiative is a great step forward: from a high-level point of 
view, they extend the OpenERP "framework" (think server + utility 
modules), to have features refactored as a dedicated module.

But indeed it would be even better to re-refactor these features into a 
generic Python library that everyone can reuse.
Generally speaking, libraries are more valuable to the "global 
community" than frameworks modules.
This is explained here (among other places) :
