Partly it is caused by using DTML for generating the python files. It is 
hard to get the indentation-sensitive python code generated reliably 
with template systems, also with DTML. In that case it is safer to add 
an extra whiteline at certain points.

I agree that those whitelines can be ugly. Perhaps we need to try even 
harder ;-)

Agreed. We didn't get to finish it all during the castle sprint. Give us 
a bit of a break, Daniel. Many of the files in that directory are 
clearly just placeholders to indicate functionality, aren't they?

Just jumping on one or two obvious placeholder files as easy criticism 
targets doens't help.

Hey, I've already called it genesis in the last two messages :-)
