No -- I meant that Ken doesn't have the time to create the
infrastructure.  Such as where do they live, how are they indexed, and
how are new ones submitted.  This may seem surprising, but Ken has
told me he's *very* busy, in part with other system management tasks
for python.org (e.g., CNRI will be installing a firewall soon), in
part with other non-python.org tasks.

Yes...
