I think this has to be done into two separate and independent steps:
1) framework (without party and content) independence
2) content and party independence from the other applications

I think they are very different goals and I am sure that there are different people interested in one, two or both.
For example, I am interested in #1 and I am less interested (I am not saying it is a bad thing, but not worth of the effort considering how I am using OFBiz) in #2.
