"It is better to have a single branch and add a comment that explains a workaround. It can be removed after platforms with buggy glibc versions will grow out of use." Recently, I proposed to drop support for old Linux kernels, but some people still use them and the code to support these kernels don't need a lot of maintenance. So we keep the code :-) https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2018-January/151821.html ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33630> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
