Yep, that and wipe out the legacy code, which is actually about 1/3rd of the Pylons 0.9.7 code-base. > Thanks Mike.

Yes, it does become tricky on "what to sell" in the way of 'new' when the scope of the framework is complete, and its mature. One of the issues is that Pylons itself isn't very plugin-compatible, and even Django's methodology of "plugin apps" is having issues scaling with conflicting settings.py files and such. > Mmm, I was following that on pypefitters and am disappointed that > efforts to continue seem to be being abandoned. I sure hope those > involved decide it's worthwhile after all. Oh, the effort is still continuing. We're kicking around a new and small little framework called Pypes at the moment, that is designed for pluggable apps, components, etc. from the get-go in a way that scales to large numbers of plug-ins and settings. I believe this would keep with the philosophy of being flexible, while allowing much better re-usability between websites like how the Django apps allow a manner of re-usability. I'll post updates as we make more progress.
