Reading those questions convinced me that we are not ready for an egg-based release. The overhead for the release manager is far too great. even with the simple approach it took about 0.5-1 day; I would think it takes more than that now. I think we need some tools for this first. something that allows us to say: for packages x, y, and z do the following: Create a tag, change setup.py, and then create the egg. If we do not have this tool, every release will be a major pain.
