I think that some of the above will go a long way towards making things
look nicer which is going to make me more amenable to it. I still don't
necessarily _like_ it because I still think that it makes anaconda
depend a bit too much on a lot of the details; but I guess as long as it
can fall back cleanly in the absence of the bits, that just means a
larger testing matrix.
