And let me just go ahead and say it, and I understand this may be upsetting. I'd rather try really hard to completely avoid the standalone setup tool. That tool, and the way it's just been described sounds like an invitation to compatibility issues between various tool versions and the metadata and backends (kas alone has more than 12 config format versions and requires to specify the version explicitly?) coming from all kinds of places, maintainability issues (we are already pressed to the limit with many pieces getting no maintenance), leaky abstractions, not quite covering all of the ways people want to use it with their existing setups, and overall greatly increased complexity in a project that is already notorious for it. I'd rather avoid repeating the story with devtool, which is both more complex and has less use than what we'd hope for - and has no maintainer. Alex
