Hey Florian,

Wow, it seems this topic comes up every *checks mailing list-has it really
been that short?* few weeks.  For reference, see the thread:
     
http://www.mail-archive.com/sqlalchemy-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00783.html

And also the prospective SoC project here:
     
http://www.mail-archive.com/sqlalchemy-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg01644.html

I think the short answer is, please, yes, write something, but good luck with
the devilish details :P
