I am generally happy with the tracker workflow and in my experience, issues that are lingering are lingering for a good reason.
I've decided to add my two cents to this thread because I've just had a negative experience with how issue 8154 and my input to it were handled. I will not go into details here beyond referring to http://bugs.python.org/issue8154, but if you follow the link, you'll see that there was not a consensus on how the issue should be addressed and even whether or not it was a bug. Nevertheless the patch was committed both to the trunk and to 2.6 without any answer to my concerns and without even an rNNN link to the committed revision. I think it would be nice if committers would not cut the discussion short without at least a note explaining their decision. _______________________________________________ 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
