+1 A couple of people commented that they didn't say anything because they were really busy. I don't think there's much you can do about that, unless the time machine can be used to unmutate the swine flu! FWIW I also agree with Martin's assessment of the thread in the tracker that it looked like there was only one person strongly opposed. Mostly an unfortunate combination of circumstances. One thing I would recommend is that while inclusion is not a matter of voting, people who are recognized as domain experts on Python-Dev *should* try to add their "+1" or "-1" early. Especially if they don't expect to have time to participate actively in discussion. After all, they can always change their assessment based on either changes or as a response to a persuasive lobby, precisely because it's not a vote. _______________________________________________ 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
