Not especially.  I'm going to dodge it since it's clear you care about
it far more than I do =)

It is incompatible for one simple reason: these are existing
applications.  It's simply not feasible to reinstall a customer's
application with no tangible benefit to them.  Most of them don't care
it's written in Python, let alone that it's not using virtualenv.  They
won't appreciate the "upgrade" and they certainly won't pay for it.  So
more or less, it's an exercise in busy work.
