I just caught up with this discussion, and I agree with some 
arguments given by bill-auger against migrating the h-node.org 
client to a git workflow, including the separation of client and 
server, isolation of interface from implementation and the problem 
with migrating existing registered users to the new workflow.

Overall there does not seem to be an urgent issue the git workflow 
is trying to solve. git has advantages, but I don't see what 
high-priority problems this proposal is trying to solve.

I haven't been able to use h-client though, as pygtk seems to have 
been superseded by pygobject (for example http://www.pygtk.org/ 
redirects to https://pygobject.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) - I am 
not able to just install pygtk by pip install or using my distro's 
repos. Not sure if others are facing the same problem, but that is 
one reason the code may need to be updated just to work.
