I talk with Julien Danjou on Hangout. He explained me the origins of the code 
and that everyone knows that Oslo Incubator can be improved, and even how it 
can be improved, but this project always lacks workforce. Good news! I'm 
interested to help to enhance Olso Incubator!

I now understood that each submodule, or even each function, of Olso Incubator 
should be audited to check if it is still used, if it should be removed, if it 
should move "upstream", or if a module can be distributed separatly on the 
Python Cheeseshop (PyPI).

Sorry, I was not aware of the "Oslo Juno Library Graduation Plan", I will read 
it!
