If the information system can be used for multiple purposes I don't see why that's a bad thing - the question should be whether it does in fact work for each purpose, and whether a better alternative exists. Remember that the BDII was originally a temporary hack until we got something better - but despite various initiatives over the years the something better has never arrived.
