You're ignoring the second paragraph quoted above. I'm *not* denying that such environments are common. The question is Do developers *restricted to such environments* really have an impact on Python development to outweigh the real cost of standardizing on an older implementation of Bazaar

I'm *not* ignoring them; I'm stating a strong belief that the great majority of them will not be adversely affected by this change. Since almost by definition they're not likely to speak up very much, I'm happy to hear arguments from a qualified observer (such as yourself) on their behalf.
