To be honest, I feel like I'm just reiterating stuff I've said before here, and I think the same is true of the points I'm responding to. Is there actually any new development here, or is it just a repeat of the same positions people have expressed in the past, based on the same underlying realities? (I'm not *against* going over the debate again, it helps make sure people haven't changed their minds, but it's important to be clear that none of the practical facts have changed, if that is the case).
Yep, same. Nothing much has changed, but if those of us who know that nothing has changed fail to reiterate those points, everyone new to the discussion will assume that everyone agrees with them.
Just deleted a long rant to the discussion in general (not directed at Paul at all ;) ) that would have achieved nothing, but I'll summarise to this: email doesn't fix bugs; maintainers fix bugs. Please let us know *publicly* if you want to become the maintainer for a stdlib module and then we can support them, but if nobody is willing/able/ready to care for them it's irresponsible for us to keep shipping them to users.
