This blog post seems somewhat relevant to sage development. I don't agree with the author's main claim (I like how numpy is developed), but the post still raises interesting issues that are important to consider. In particular, that the sage source tarballs provide a way to build self contained point in time versions of the scientific python stack on a wide range of computers is relevant.
