Don't hack Decorate.py. Instead create a new pipeline module, called
something like FooterRoulette.py and stick that in the GLOBAL_PIPELINE
anywhere between ToUsenet.py and ToOutgoing.py. Then turn off
standard footers for the lists you want to rotate, and add whatever
logic you want in FooterRoulette.py to get the footer templates,
sticking whatever you want in them.
Could all be done with not a lot of lines of Python, and it ought to
integrate well with the current architecture. The hard part would be
integrating that with thru-the-web customization, but I'd punt on that
to start out with.
