I disagree. If a change is gratuitous, and someone call's it out for being so, it's not a reason to get offended. Even if someone call's a change stupid, one should take a large step back before taking offense, just because they were responsible for the change. Defend the change, give the reasons it's not gratuitous/stupid/ugly/whatever, but keep calm and carry on. This sort of back-and-forth sniping should be taken off list. _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
