Perhaps not to Quickly, but we will need to define a standard set of
technologies that this class of application can use. By making some
opinionated choices around the development tech that is supported, we can make
it a lot easier for reviewers to get a good handle on a package rapidly. I
think this will also be an important part of making the process light and fast
(this also helps with the limited resources to do reviews problem).
