You really can’t say I’m not trying to discuss. But it takes at least
two persons to discuss, and Matthias has been ignoring all technical
discussions about Python packaging for years.

This is not a technical problem. The technical divergences can be solved
if consensus is reached about them or if a decision body (TC or GR)
forces them. This is purely a person problem: Matthias is clearly not
willing to maintain python-central correctly nor to make it evolve
according to the needs of developers. These are two very good reasons to
keep maintaining an alternative.
