In all seriousness, why not do something like what we started with the

already have.

That, plus the dict config option you mentioned plus a doc re-org
would probably go a long way to improving the PR of the module.

It's just a question of priorities and timing. Clearly, the dict config
option, other functional enhancements and documentation reorganisation
should take priority.

I'm waiting for a little while to see what feedback comes in from python-dev about the dict config functionality. I've been in touch with Doug Hellmann on the documentation reorganisation and am waiting for some feedback from him, and I've started to put together some diagrams which will hopefully help clarify
some aspects of the documentation.

Jesse keeps bugging me to review PyCon proposals ;-), so I haven't had a chance to dig into the doc work, yet. It's still on my list, though.

Doug
