I can only sum it up as these things are important to a portion of our user 
base. Many of our enterprise customers are not willing to publicly share what 
tools they use in their applications. This is the default position of many 
(most?) enterprise shops. In the near future I’m going to be making a concerted 
effort to change minds on this but it’s an uphill climb.

Apologies for the distracting comment. Let’s focus on the labs repos here.
