Listing means that you'd have to start dealing with templating and style. Dir's primary virtue is that it's the simplest thing that could possibly work.
I would be interested to know if Guillermo or Jason would be willing to accept patches. As a workaround, have you considered generating index files? I've had good experiences with inotify for doing upload-triggered things, and if files get deployed with something like Chef, you can always push the templating logic into it.
