Any reason the python support was ripped out? I've got my suspicions about not wanting/not being able to properly release the python packaging method in use internally, but I'm curious if I'd be tilting at windmills to try and get it to output pexes.

I suspect the reason was: "They need to start with something and go from there".

So they started with the use cases likely to be the most popular.

Additionally, there are definitely cases where the implementations of rules at Google are a morass, and rather than dump it on the open source community, it makes more sense to clean them up when they get rebuilt.

The same question about JS. Closure Compiler never made much sense for me without blaze.
