I should say that the most radical change in the server architecture 
redesign (as far as I know), happens with the first protocol that has 
been implemented (login). The fact that 99% of the old architecture 
remains intact behind the scenes is just an implementation detail. 
Splitting the architecture into Region Domains and Agent Domains is 
(IMHO) the biggie in the long run, and it happened very first thing.
