Never fear, our new project compiles Sails.js apps-- the core of what we're trying to solve is exactly that (the transition between using a more heavy-handed framework, and being able to customize/optimize/understand minutia as needed). More on the tech here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZKG7hLhbRs
Also, in case it's helpful, figured I'd mention that we just finished rearchitecting sailsjs.org and the doc compilation process to improve the permanence of links and make the experience of searching for stuff from the docs on Google better (latest updates here: https://github.com/balderdashy/www.sailsjs.org/commits/maste...) Kevin, I know that was something you (rightfully) have a lot of energy about.
