I don't know. I took this to be an observation rather than a declaration of intent by the package owner (Fredrik Lundh). > P.S.

So long as Fredrik owns the package, I think forking it for the standard library would be a bad thing, though not for technical reasons. Fredrik provided his libraries for the standard library in good faith, and we still list him as the external maintainer. Until *that* changes, forking would be inappropriate. I'd much rather see a discussion with Fredrik about the future maintenance plan for ElementTree and cElementTree. -Fred -- Fred L.
