Are these dead in the water or are we going to try to change our

this for 3.3 we are probably never going to do it for Python 3 series
as a whole.
I'm -1 on both PEPs.
I pretty much agree. There is certainly no consensus and the possible
benefit is not obviously substantially more than the cost.
For PEP 407, I fail to see what problem it solves. The PEP is short on
rationale, so let me guess what the motivation for the PEP is:
...
While I well recall the feeling of getting changes "out", the real
concerns only exist for the very first contribution:
...
* Now that the patch is uploaded, can somebody *please* review it?
How hard can it be to look over 20 lines of code?
Example http://bugs.python.org/issue13598
OP submitted revised patch in response to review 4 months ago
As for us not getting enough contributions: can we please worry
about that when we have all patches processed that already have
been contributed?
I suspect that having too many unattended patches sitting on the tracker
discourages one from writing and submitting more. I also suspect, for
instance, that applying some of Roger Serwy's Idle patches has
encouraged him to write more.
