Hi Gary,

First, thanks for this information and for /all/ the great work you've  
been doing on making our build environment sane(r :).  I can't speak  
for anybody else, but most of my confusion in this area has been  
because we're in a transition.  I'm sometimes uncertain as to whether  
something's been moved into buildout or not, so completing the task  
really seems like the best solution.

Question: is the ultimate goal to completely get rid of sourcecode, so  
that all packages come from buildout?

If you need help getting some of this code reviewed, please ping me  
and I'll make time to do it.

-Barry
