Bob, this is indeed a can of worms.  Also, the discussion might be
better suited for the RPG list, but very soon I hope to have an even
better place to discuss it.  I've created a new online forum at the
following URL:

This is the forum for the iSeries Application Architecture Initiative,
and its sole purpose is to answer just those sorts of questions.
