        The problem is that a majority of the people who run python.org 
are also heavily involved in Debian, so we're pretty much guaranteed 
to be shackled by whatever the Debian people want to do.  I couldn't 
even get them to agree to run ntpd instead of ntpdate on the 
python.org machines, because that's not what was provided in the 
Debian packages.
