I tend to think this is simply a case for education
and continued exploration.

It will take time for everyone to absorb the WSGI
way. It will take time for us to evolve that way as
a community. I would hate for us to create bloat or
take wrong turns that we can't easily take back in
our exuberant desire to rush that.

There is a natural tendency to rush in to plant the
colonial flag in a new territory. Let's avoid that too.
