Having written the statement you quote above, I must say
I agree with Mr. Swaney's short, but brilliantly presented argument!

Somewhat more seriously, it is true that there are bpy design issues
that are of interest and concern to the bf-committers list readers.
Our current whipping-boy, the Window module, is an example of this.
However, bpy methods that simply provide access to the blender
database do not fall into this category.

In addition, what we are talking about here is a patch that is not
quite Ready for Prime Time.  We are discussing changes needed for it
to be accepted into the blender codebase.  That, plus the fact that
many of the regular blender coders do not understand embedded python
code, tells me this thread is better left as bpy traffic.

If we were discussing a design issue like how to link and run scripts
in other spaces like OOPS or the 3d window, or when that work might be
scheduled, I would agree with you.  Things like that are general
blender development issues.  Repeated updates to a simple patch are
just noise on the bf-committers channel, no matter how interesting
they may be to the bpy team.
