Encouraging a software, or social, monopoly is never the right thing for the long term. http://nedbatchelder.com/blog/201405/github_monoculture.html > I promise you that once the pain of the switch is over you will feel > much better about it.

I know that there are people who think that mailing lists are old and passe, and that we should shift discussion to a social media site like Reddit. If we did, we'd probably get twenty times as many comments, and the average quality would probably plummet. More is not necessarily a good thing. -- Steven _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
