well to put it simple i just think it is an overlay complex solution when it does not need to be.
I prefer the KISS principle. A solution like Modular CI (although Modular CI is not compatible with 3.0's session).
For a project like this i would see Modular CI and HMVC kind of overkill for what this project is. I would understand if you were making Dove a module for HMVC but in this case from what i see it is not, so a HMVC solution as i said is overkill.
Plus i am not a big fan of CI's packages system which HMVC utilizes.
