In our particular case, we found that the UML's were unnecessary for our 
application (we were sharing a box amongst multiple people/admins and 
wanted to keep everyone separated from each other, but we found we could 
all work together).

So we yanked the UML's and just went with a single shared box and some 
rules about who could change what.
