And who do you get to maintain all the new tests and buildbots you spawn from running hundreds of community projects unittests? How do you know those tests are real, and actually work? You quickly outstrip the ability of the core team to stay on top of it, and you run into issues in the past akin to the community build bots project. jesse _______________________________________________ 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
