At DeamHost, we're developing against Folsom and will be releasing a
Folsom-based product. If this change makes it in for Folsom, this will
save us considerable work via an improved development process. Within
the larger context of the community at large we may be only one team
of devs, but I'd imagine that with a team as senior as ours, there
will be other Python hackers out there who will appreciate the
methodology represented by this change and the benefits of having it
in place for Folsom-based projects.

In other words, it'd be really, really nice if this made it in...
pretty-please? ;-)
