I could be convinced by a majority vote, in an open poll. I know Jacob is skeptical about polls, and asks that the maintainers should channel the user's voices - which I believe I'm actually doing. Turning this around: what is are the objective arguments *for* turning it off? Going by Jacob's initial list of arguments, I think they all are not good reasons to turn them off: - it's not helpful to the maintainer may be true, but that's not a reason to turn it off - maintainers should just ignore them if they are not helpful - it's not helpful to users I believe this is not true - it's not helpful the commenter why does he go through the effort, then? It must be helpful, even if just to vent frustration, or to share joy - it's not helpful to PyPI none of PyPI is helpful to PyPI. PyPI is helpful to the Python community (including this feature) Regards, Martin _______________________________________________ Catalog-SIG mailing list Catalog-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/catalog-sig
