I didn't suggest a lengthy tutorial or a support matrix. Just
a list of interfaces we use. It takes some work, but it doesn't
have to take nearly as much work as you're suggesting.

1. "I need sd_foo_interface to implement foo feature"
2. Write code
3. git commit && git push origin master
4. echo sd_foo_interface >> http://live.gnome.org/Interfaces
