I agree with your comment about the sections being logical to the user. But 
the fact
of the matter is, while the user doesn't *care* about it, *we* do since we 
maintain
these spells. If one updates the python build functions, we would need to also
update any and all spells outside of the section to accomodate... now who is 
making
double workload?

There are no set standards, but sensible guidelines on what you should do... 
if you
asked.

The thread you referenced to which I saw briefly last year was well 
discussed, you 
shuld see the ideas/thoughts of most of our *active* developers back then and 
I
assume those have not changed.
