Thanks for the process critique - I agree. I will put together such
improvements in a little bit.

I hadn't actually intended to go quiet - my intended next step was to
collate the feedback we've had so far (and prompt you for some
mod_wsgi orientated feedback).

However, about 2 weeks back my Mum died, and that caused a rather big
speed bump in the 'what I need to do' chore list, which still isn't
over (but at least the crisis wise aspects are)

TBH I'd be fine with complaints and wish lists - got to start
somewhere, and having a clear list of the places WSGI has not met
needs would be excellent.

One thing you could do, if you like, is to put a PR together for the
wsgi-ng repo that adjusts README in the light of your feedback.
