Stephan, I *have* managed a large set, and I'm *certain* that the KGS is useful for many cases: it just doesn't work for me for any large production application: I don't want to rely on the iffy availability of eggs from PyPI, for instance, which means that running a separate, per-project index is my only recourse anyway. Once you are running your own index, it's contents *are* a KGS, just not one managed using the 'versions.cfg' machinery. That said, I do appreciate the work you have done and are doing to make the KGS useful for others.
