That approach would simply give us many many single points of failure. For instance, you're maintaining a particular module but at the time an important bug/patch comes up, you're off on holidays, or busy, or the like. Sure, you could say "this person is primary, and this person is backup" but hell, there's a lot of different components that make up Python. That would be a maintenance and management nightmare. -- Anthony Baxter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> It's never too late to have a happy childhood. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
