Nothing will happen in 1.0. An alternative to @validate might be
provided in 1.1. Ben said he'll outline a new roadmap for Pylons soon
after 1.0 is released.

We've generally decided to keep FormEncode because of its wide
flexibility (it can validate anything, and doesn't have HTML-centric
vocabulary), so whatever we choose would have to work with it.  Some
people have written standalone pieces of @validate which could be used
inside actions or combined in a decorator, so we'd have to evaluate
those.

If you have any specific ideas, you can add them to the "Split up
@validate" ticket.
