Tim and I spent quite a bit of time trying to get the astropy people
interested in using ast or pyast within the astropy core, but with
little success. I failed to convince them about the
mapping/frame/frameset model, and they were worried about licensing
and support issues.
So I'm not sure what they would think about making pyast an affiliated
package. It may be seen as being in competition with the wcs/coords
stuff in the astropy core.
