>From going briefly over the packages in "common" module, it seems that there are 2 types of code there-
code really in use by backend and frontend, and code used only by the backend.
So part of the code residing there is not really "common".
My suggestion is to take out that non common code from "common" (along with async task mgr which is also not common), and create a new module (names - core? infra?  ) on which only backend/bll will depend.
