Hm. Interesting. A few of us are working in this area at this sprint,
trying to make the site mgmt UI a little easier and more obvious to
use. We might see what could be done in this area. I agree that it's
a useful thing to have - when someone wants to bundle up a product,
if they have to sit down and laboriously hand-craft python to do
all the necessary magic, it's going to cause them pain...
