The UX presentation suggested keeping the existing UI for developers but then creating a new one for business users. This theme ties in very well with the idea Jacopo mentioned in creating a component that would be the Business demo.
Hans mentioned that Stannah had developed a bootstrap backend theme that they would be willing to contribute back to the project with their logos removed. This could be a good start for the business user demo component.
Discussion Topic: Release Strategy
