Lars, do you not recall the previous threads on this? The very same questions
were answered about tooling. The very same requests were made and now Michal is
providing a reasonable timeline that he would like other devs to help the
Python team meet.
I see plenty of other devs and contributors touch Python packages with no
problems... Is it just you maybe?
It doesn't seem *anything* will work with a few "high profile" devs in the
community.
Provide tooling? Not good enough. Provide a reasonable timeline? Not good
enough. Open bugs? We ignore them.
