Peter, I asked and the answer I got was that "we already have a lot of 
code from the last guy in Cake".....

i.e., there isn't a really good reason, it just is the way it 
is...well we'll see if the proof-of-concept pans out...

There seem to be concerns that the database-access classes in Cake 
aren't agnostic enough to work with Silverstripe's database, but I 
think there are workarounds that will be effective.  (Silverstripe 
rebuilds its database based on enumerations of fields in the data 
classes and has its own naming conventions.)
