So perhaps that is finally resolved?

Luke’s observation re. tags notwithstanding (seriously. TAGS!) I’m really impressed with how well this has gelled and I’m optimistic that this will be a great contribution.

MVP #1 Doesn’t describe a product — “something that makes x, y and z easy to use” isn’t explicit enough. Is that a command line tool? A set of instructions? […]
