It's interesting but I don't know if I agree with the conclusion that writing this small function in C would make maintenance too hard. How often do you expect to have to change it?
- phamilton 15y agoAnd what would you be changing even when you do change it? Editing the whitelist is all I can think of.

The deployment process is complex as is (internally, of course --- it's one script to run --- but that doesn't help if something obscure breaks). I suppose it would be possible to produce it as a python package and use those standard methods, but at that point it makes sense to open source and then it should be beefed up and so on and so forth.
