1. i agree with alissa and alon on the larger refactoring.
2. not all of common today is used by gwt, specifically, interfaces are 
shared/common, but backendinterfaces are limited to backend.

since we are trying to refactor the frontend to not use common at all by 
moving to the restapi, I'm not sure i'd bother we'd splitting common 
"more" by shared/not-shared with frontend.
but i would focus on making things in their own packages.
i.e., I'd like to see ovirt-engine for gluster-only having to 
deploy/build/pull only what's relevant for them, not the 'virt' stuff 
for example.
(easier for bll. a bit more work for db/common)
