I think we do agree entirely, it is just that the application we have in mind is more a collection of web services than a traditional Web application. Now, since you are here, there is an unrelated question that I want to ask you, concerning the future of Paste with respect to WSGI 2.0. I do realize that at this stage WSGI 2.0, is only a draft, still I would like to know: 1. if you think that WSGI 2.0 is good idea (I expect you will say "yes") 2. if you plan to support it in Paste and if yes when (I mean, in a month, in a year, in three years?) 3. if you already have thought of a migration plan and, in that case, what your strategy would likely be.
