That is an empty statement. What is there to be happy about ?
Also the complementary argument pretty much destroy the best
argument you and Walter made for DIP25 : it is simple. I mean,
one need to look at the big picture. DIP25 + complementary
addition is not simple anymore.
I'd say the one way to get things looked at seriously is to
create a DIP. That's no guarantee it will be accepted but
there is a guarantee that our chat at DConf is not sufficient
even as a basis for further study.
Yeah there are IRL discussion, there are many posts in the
forum, there are by mail discussions at DIP25 creation time,
there are at least one DIP already.
The only rebuttal to all of this is "Walter and I are happy
with DIP25, and the fact of the matter", while everybody else
is wondering what there is to be happy about.
Also, I'm sorry but there is no me writing once again a document
about what alternative are possible. Spending hours to write
documents so that one is answered something along the line of "we
are happy with the other thing, but we can't give any reason why"
is something I've engaged in several time in already, and has no
desire to indulge into this if I have reason to think the same
will happen. Your answer here are telling me one thing: it won't
be taken seriously.
