My take is that this will be fine, so long as swish-e is really ready
for production use.  Last time I looked it was definitely in a beta
state, and I ran into problems with it on large codebases (600MB
plus).  So I'd like to see some evidence that it can handle that sort
of load before we remove glimpse support.

If you wanted to add the additional features conditionally on swish-e
presence then that would be totally fine.

Cheers,

Malcolm
