Are we having a communication problem here?  I think I see two
different uses of the word "inside".  If "inside" means "designed and
built and maintained as part of DSpace" then I have to say I think we
should not do that.  If "inside" means "can easily be made to appear
as part of a system which also includes DSpace" then that makes a lot
of sense.

I see the same people seeming to argue both yea and nay, and that
makes me think I haven't understood all of their words.

Typically when a software vendor says that a product is "intuitive" he
means the exact opposite.
