I also don't know the right answer. If you already had the same concerns 
and thought about it, your answer is probably as good as any other.

Yes. Just like the gearbox serve command also only is one of many ways 
to serve wsgi.

But it could perhaps be placed under a "development" or "source" sub 
command. A command that also monitor file system and rebuild front-end 
code automatically. And perhaps also take care of building/updating 
localization.
