Am not against removing dead batteries but Am still very skeptical and disturbed about how the decision to remove modules is made.i.e what goes and what remains?
For example, in the discussion section of PEP 594 , individuals kept asking for some modules to remain and IIUC, it's in the decision of the PEP to keep those modules on those grounds that some people requested for those modules to remain. For example, I now wonder how Andrew is different from those people?
