I understand your elaborations.

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.!

Please keep relatives out of discussions.
