Well, it's the same attitude that Fredrik Lundh just critized. It's ok for a port maintainer to say "I don't have any energy to fix it myself" (although I would hope he still says "patches will be accepted"). It's not ok for a port maintainer to say "it's not a bug - just upgrade your system". It *is* a bug for Python to emit warnings on "major platforms" (PEP 7). Also, it would be good if PEP 11 was considered before breaking platforms. If some version of the system is not supported anymore, fine - but *atleast* that should be mentioned in PEP 11, and better, the process suggested in PEP 11 should be followed.
