| One thing though: while I /think/ the membership api is nicely | separated and can be easily replaced, other list configuration | variables are not. So you'll still see lots of direct attribute | access on MailList objects. Meaning it's much tougher to divert | non-membership data to an external source.
Why is that, if you replace the normal MailList objects with some opaque objects using __getattr__ and __setattr__ for getting the data out of somewhere else?
