Announcing Bonfire - A jumpstart for your web apps

I have looked through Bonfire and it is phenomenal. However, I see a few problems down the road regarding maintainability.

I would like to be able to easily update bonfire modules, HMVC and codeigniter separately as the projects move at different paces. As it currently stands the directory structure is slightly different from a typical codeigniter install, it is a directory deeper and system folder renamed to codeigniter. The included HMVC is modified in at least one spot (.../third_party/MX/Modules.php the module locations array). A good spot for that particular change is in the main config.php file as suggested by the HMVC wiki.

As it is now, Bonfire is a single and simple install this means we the users get it easy the first time we use it to start new projects and then things may get slightly complex when updating existing projects. Or when HMVC and codeigniter are updated you would have to update Bonfire even for very small changes.

Somewhere, you mentioned update functionality. That would alleviate my concerns. But, bonfire is saving us weeks of work not just 40 hours; an extra 5 minutes spent by installing CI, HMVC and Bonfire(modules & themes) separately wouldn't make it any less awesome for us.
