Because the person might not be trustworthy, period. Or it might reflect badly upon Python's reputation. But yes, I could also see cases where we'd chose to trust the person anyway. This is why I said it's a gray area -- it can only be determined on a case-by-case basis. The most likely case might actually be someone like Aaron Swartz. -- --Guido van Rossum (python.org/~guido) _______________________________________________ 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
