 The main goals of this rewrite are:
-* Removing direct access to the datastore and providing API to replace that.
+* Support a wider range of add-on types managed through the same interface
-* Becoming a more general manager for add-ons to support different types of add-ons through the same interface such as search plugins, content plugins, jetpack, personas etc.
+* Allow application/extension developers to be able to easily query the state of installed items
-* Keep the API clean and only expose the items that the UI and developers need access to
+* Make it easier for applications to replace the add-ons UI with their own implementation
+* Simplify the internal code and speed up startup times
+* Minimize the use of RDF throughout the backend
+* Remove direct access to the datastore
