So you are effectively maintaining your own personal KGS
configuration, which is fine if there are enough resources to do that
properly, but I personally like delegating whenever I can ;) and i
trust Stephan to do the task for me.

And I don't think there are that many developers that are better than
Stephan at keeping a good KGS. I understand that Zope corp is
employing a lot of  programmers that have the expertise to maintain
such a config, I just don't think everyone should do it.
