I will say this though, I've been using Fabric for a very long time and abuse it with glee.

Are there any dev-opsy/provisioning/whatever type pain points you'd like a blog post or exposition on?

Edit: I'm the CTO. I'm open to open sourcing our stuff, but the lack of generalizability makes it less than useful. There's an abundance of magic in our stack that automates everything. Idempotence was a core design goal.

Edit2: For local development, I automate everything surrounding the python packages and the virtualenvs for the various repos we have as well. It's pretty damned handy.
