thankfully, i'm nearly out of the deep , dark Pylons hole.  ( no offense, 
ben )   only one startup that i'm advising uses Pylons, my new company is 
on Pyramid, and all my consulting projects are now on the business or 
product side ( oh, my life is so much easier now! )

when helping that one company migrate from 0.9.6 -> 1.x there were a 
handful of problems.  

if anyone is doing a site fix, i would bring these up:

- constant issues with the Pylons book having better SEO.  Getting a header 
on the Pylons site noting "This is for Pylons 1.x, The Pylons Book 1.0 
covers an earlier version and is incompatible" would be strongly suggested. 
 If someone can convince the Pylons book site to put up a header, that 
would solve a lot of potential problems too.

- There were several issues in package upgrades.  SqlAlchemy was generally 
fine, but Routes and WebHelpers were a pain -- at some points, both 
projects upgraded and broke compatibility with the Pylons docs/templates. 
 I think this happened 2x for WebHelpers.

- The migration path from 0.9.7 -> 0.9.7 -> .10 -> 1.0 -> 1.01 was a little 
dicey...
-- migrating to 0.9.7 from 0.9.6 required going through earlier release 
notes.  would have been nicer if they were on that page.  ( 0.9.6 was out 
for a long time )
-- the 0.10 warnings tag didn't seem to generate many warnings.    just 
letting everything break under 1.01 and fixing that was easier.
