Sorry, I didn't mean to be harsh. But you sounded like you found the answer 
while posting to the mailing list but wanted to complain anyway. The 
warning is there. And if someone really deploys an application with debug 
mode on (which means the default INI file was trashed) then that's what I 
meant by "they deserve to get hacked". Like my father-in-law who clicks on 
any warning dialog without even reading it. :)

I second the idea to only bind the web server to localhost so nobody else 
can access the application during development unless the developer 
explicitly says so. But I'm contra disabling the beautiful interactive 
debugger by default - people might miss it out accidentally and it's one 
of the reasons I favor Pylons over anything else.

One thing I definitely second is that the documentation needs a little 
going-over. So if you didn't find the deployment information in the first 
place that's understandable.

Cheers
 Christoph
