I agree.  To take it a step further, at some point I think the
buildmaster is much more about web service than we've anticipated so
far.  It sure would be nice to adopt one of the existing Python web
frameworks.  The better those frameworks can support backend
operations (managing buildslaves), the better.  That's more of a 1.0
concern, I suppose.

P.S. One-oh will require Python-2.5.
