Ok, but playing opposite advocate here, since you mentioned that thanks to
Google python is making a resurgence, wouldn't it be better to try to get
something going here?  (Again, I haven't been able to use Jython, so I'm just
talking theoretically here :) )

Ok, are you suggesting that we promote waffle as the official and deprecate
everything else?
