I'm not going to be much help with the architecture, but if you
summarize the changes I can work on the docs.  I'm not sure whether
all references to the database need to get removed because you've
mentioned making it optional.  How does that work?

Well, that was the original intent, to push database-oriented stuff like reports into pluggable modules only enabled if you choose and have a database configured. However, it seemed feasible to achieve it with the current functionality, so the database isn't required for anything other than users at this point.
