That is okay with me.  It'll be a long time before I get to a point
where I'll need easy release.  But knowing that it will be part of a
future release will also mean I don't have to worry about refactoring
everything if the toolkit I'm using goes out of style and is replaced
by something else.

Out of curiosity...  Did that page have install instructions for
Tile?  Other pages I've seen talk about it but don't say how to
integrate it in to a python installation (under Windows or Linux).
