Clarification: writing your site using only the core would not be the simplest 
thing to do - it would mean writing your model, view and controller by hand. 
But this is something one might consider in some cases. 

And one thing more - I didn't address the /Management API/ part of the 
proposal. But that's something that can be done within the shape I suggest.
Servlets correspond (but not 1:1) to controllers. Now the whole UAC would make 
a nice plugin hooked at root::auto (or whatever we call it) with the 
management being a separate controller (brought to you by scaffolding). 
Getting prepackaged controllers installable into your site is a not-so-hard 
engineering task, that can get into the GSoC frame.

With carefull designing we can get something really powerful, flexible and 
elegant. As long as both my assumptions hold for potential users.
