These last two points kind of diverge from the point, no?  What I mean 
is that we want to present the argument of why Python is the best choice 
as THE built-in programming language for the revolutionary uuu operating 
system.  Unless Java becomes built-in, the ability to transition from 
Python to Jython isn't pertinent info when talking about the uuu 
project.  The idea is to have an easily maintainable (hence readable) OS 
core of functionality built with Python and to support advanced yet 
clean and simple modules which can run on the OS with support from the 
ground-up. 

On the other hand, are you suggesting against Python in favor of Java?
