Obviously it's a subtle matter of emphasis, and also obviously, that current situation has some people confused. > I'm convinced that relying on a Python distribution on Windows and OSX > is a good idea, and needs to be emphasized over needs of advanced users, > who should have enough patience to read the bottom of the page. I am arguing that whether it's a good idea or not, according to us, is not going affect the guys and gals in Group 2, and that, unless we want to lose or discourage those people, we'll always need to support (and give mind- and page-space to) community-built binary installers.
