I really don't want to wait for the mid-cycle. Happy to discuss in the 
Nova meeting, but my preference is to have Chris just modify his patch 
series to use Flask now and review it.

Because Doug persuaded me that the benefits of being consistent with 
what the community is using outweigh my (and Chris') personal misgivings 
about the particular framework.

It's about using a code style and library that is in use by other 
projects so that new contributors can have some consistency in the WSGI 
handling code.
