Thanks, Greg!  This feedback is much welcomed.  I'd also like to publicly thank 
you for your involvement in the NuPIC project.  You helped nudge us in the 
right direction in supporting 2.7, which has been a barrier to entry for many.  
Furthermore, I believe we're on track to address many of the concerns you've 
raised regarding packaging and build process within the context of the 
admittedly difficult-to-navigate Python ecosystem.  With the revised 
contributor license in place, I hope you'll continue to be involved.  I've 
included a sampling of JIRA issues that I know could benefit from some love 
from the broader open source community that I think you might find 
relevant/interesting.
