I think that things like mod_python, mod_php, mod_mono are not clear cut. = =20 Personally I like the arrangement we have with PHP, where mod_php lives in= =20 dev-php. That seems very natural and intuitive. I would prefer mod_python= =20 to live in dev-python for now for the same reason. I believe that skunkworks, like quixote, belongs in dev-python, as it is a= =20 language-specific framework. Developers who need it can easily find it, an= d=20 users who need it will have it automatically installed as a DEPEND or RDEPE= ND=20 as appropriate. If dev- isn't going to contain the language runtime, and isn't going = to=20 contain the application frameworks for the languages, there seems little=20 point in maintaining the dev- categories at all.
