One of my concerns is object dependencies - we shall see how
that goes. That is a layer of complexity that most other OS' don't
have to deal with.
Are you concerned about object dependencies for distribution purposes? If so, it sounds like you and I may be on the same page. My recollection is that other platforms have even bigger problems because the number and types of dependencies are higher, and you're often dealing with different hardware tiers performing different roles.
But I'm interested in a way to package software for distribution. Ideally, I'd have a repository of packages of various shapes and sizes, for different products. A product is a collection of applications. If I change one of the applications, I'd like to offer something like a temporary PTF for just that application, and not the entire product. What would be really cool would be a way for customers to browse my software repository and compare it to what's installed on their server; to download and install changes, easily.
Following is a screen-shot of an application, launched from a menu, and used to track personal data.

The data is structured in parent-child fashion. The left-most tab identifies a person [parent data]. Subsequent tabs work with phones, email accounts, addresses, notes, user defined attributes, and file attachments [child data]. The Profile tab on the right contains a summary of all the data to the left.
For software distribution purposes this is a single menu item, and part of the "Portal" package. But behind each tab is a separate *PGM and HTML source member, which are mostly independent of corresponding *PGM and HTML objects for each of the other tabs. On one hand, I'll need to generate a *SAVF for the entire Portal package, for new installs. Or I might need a *SAVF for the menu item. Or if the *PGM or HTML member for the Profile tab changes down the road [for example], I might need a separate *SAVF for that tab only.
So I'm interested in managing stuff like that.
