All we need is to have someone spend some time to make it possible to have
a common meta files(configs, package descriptions, etc.) so that they can
be interchangeable and used by both Bower and pip, e.g. some tool to sync
changes made in one config and adding it to another. Then - whoever prefers
Bower - will use Bower, that's mostly for development, and whoever prefers
pip - will use pip. Ideally, it seems fine to have the static files into
separate git repo(s), as it is now in XStatic.

I'll try to make an (incomplete or maybe not so correct) list of the stages
a static file goes through:

1. Development - all we need is versions of uncompressed js and css files.
We can
