 This is mostly a question of where the code is supposed to live, and how
 to make it more library-like.  The idea of the metrics-tasks.git
 repository is to keep code of ongoing or completed projects in case we
 need it for future projects.  Nothing else should use code from metrics-
 tasks.

 I wonder if we should move the task-6471/ directory to metrics-utils.git
 as pygeodate/.  What do you think about that?  How's the directory layout
 for a Python library supposed to look like?
