I'm not sure what you mean? I may disagree with my governement's decisions without wanting to overthrow the whole regime (or, conversely, I may agree with some of a despot's decisions without finding him legitimate to make those decisions). Disagreeing with a PEP has nothing to do with this discussion, has it? > If we go with a committee are we threatening to exclude those who think design-by-committee is not a > legitamate method, or don't think it's members are legitimate choices? If we're talking about a dictator (this is Barry's proposal), we're not talking about someone that just makes language design decisions, as Victor pointed out. Or if it is what we're talking about, the name is ill-chosen :-) Regards Antoine. _______________________________________________ python-committers mailing list python-committers@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-committers Code of Conduct: https://www.python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
