Haven't looked at the actual model yet, but certainly reverse =
engineering is just a starting point. The quality of reverse engineering =
depends on the quality of the DB schema, constraints, consistent naming, =
etc. Also you may want to remap certain defaults (e.g. adding flattened =
relationships over some tables, etc.) So doing a manual pass and =
tweaking over a reverse-engineered model is always a good idea.

Cheers,
Andrus
