Please be respectful rather than inflammatory. If you read what I wrote, I did not say that I was going to stop contributing, I specifically talked about that gut reaction being both emotional and illogical. That doesn't make the reaction any less real, and the fact that such reactions exist is a data point you should consider in conducting your PR campaign for this issue. (I don't mean that last as a negative: this issue *requires* an honest PR campaign.) --David _______________________________________________ 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
