Future of CodeIgniter?

I don't normally get involved in these sort of discussions but i must say i'm intrigued how they have done it / doing it.

I'll admit that i haven't had much of a look at EE's codebase so i may not be the best to make these judgements, but i wonder how they are going go handle it all. I know CI is based on a lot of EE libs but i still think it can't be that simple. I wonder if there is some form of abstraction layer inbetween CI and EE to enable them to work happily together.

I would love to know how it is done, sort of the same way how i wonder how some magic tricks are done.
