To be fair (to us), this thread http://groups.google.com/group/django-developers/browse_frm/thread/4f94a805f73072da was all about exactly that. It mentioned management.py in the title, so that counts as a clear warning in Open Source mailing list terms (sometimes threads veer wildly off course from their titles). > By the way, I have to congratulate the developers for finally > diversifying code and making the code more organized. > > Now regarding my project's goals.

Getting that close to your original goals is excellent work.
