My question was about the "simple" interface on the central server

Ah, I didn't realize.

to which you seem to say "I don't need it at all - whether it's current and slow or behind and fast" (which, in a sense, is also a response to the question, namely "I don't care").

I think it's a great idea to have both human- and machine-targeted versions available. It looks like setuptools is about twice as fast (in at least one instance) with the simple version. That seems like a pretty big win to me. -- Benji York http://benjiyork.com
