Downloan app code feature or bug ? - download_app

I think App Engines developers community has by a vast majority rejected the idea of code downloading at least as default (opt out) option.
I also do not like the idea of a payable service, since it :

• will complicate the pricing model
• will attract criticism against the platform and 
• help guys who are in the business of doing unreasonable GAE vs S3 vs whatever_looks_like_cloud comparisons happy.

But ... then again who am I to tell mother G what to do ? -:)
( see my post at google-appengine group )
