I really like the general notion. Yes we should start to improve glue! So much of what coders do today is glue code, and it's so rarely given form or distinction even though it's so omnipresent.
Think of something like Yahoo Pipes or If This Then That: almost purely glue code systems. And these programs composing systems so seem worthy of being their own things.
