(youd go to the site and just get a "coming soon"-style splash
page)..and even then it was already in production use in earlier forms.
they knew that if you release something that wasnt polished and would
lead to user frustration, people would get disinterested and leave.
the strategy seems to have worked for them.
Possibly "sqlalchemy" should do the same, until it's fully functional
and do not 'frustrate users'.
And "Turbogears", too. And Django, as it's still not fully functional
(mainly due to it's deficient ORM layer).
Or all those projects remain open(!), allowing users and contributors
to review the source(!), in order to be able to contribute
requirements, ideas, patches, sources etc.!

Continueing a thread from "sqlalchemy group) within comp.lang.python
(closest public usenet group), because "Michael Bayer" has closed the
thread within google.groups (no reply possible to anyone) prior to
enabling my answer to his message.
