What happened is that Martin came late in the discussions in Distutils-SIG after I've forwarded the final mail in Catalog-SIG and after I did send it here (the mail where I said "Here's the mail I'll send to python-dev for PEP 345, if anyone sees a problem or something to add") I agree that the comma and syntax discussions are bikeshedding. Although I don't think the range discussion is bikeshedding, and so far we made some progress on clarifying how range versions are compared in that PEP through Martin's points and this thread. It's quite important IMHO to clarify it. So, if no one object, I propose to continue this thread about the way range should be compared, to see if we meet a consensus quite soon. If not, I guess we can go back to distutils-SIG and invite people over there, as we did for other topics.
