As a not-directly-concerned third party who's been lurking, it seems to me like people are in way too much of a rush to "get things done". Sending direct mail, addressing the precise question[1] seems to have produced immediate results. (And yes, I've been on this list long enough to know that maintenance of ET/cET has been an issue for years. Nevertheless!) While actually maintaining the code is important, continuity in the community is important, too, and probably more so. In this case, continuity evidently will be achieved by a handoff rather than reactivation of Fredrik. It's a shame that this result had to be achieved by MvL putting his foot down. I'm glad he did. Footnotes: [1] Ie, not "when is this or that code issue going to be addressed", but "in view of your apparent schedule constraints, would it be OK to maintain the package in the stdlib with python-dev taking responsibility". _______________________________________________ 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
