I second that sentiment. But it strikes me that we're doing this because our release frequency is completely inadapted. If we had feature releases, say, every 6 or 9 months, the problem wouldn't really exist in the first place. Exceptions granted by the RM only tackle a very small portion of the problem, because the long delay before an accepted patch being in an official release *still* frustrates everyone, and the unpredictability of exceptions only makes things *more* frustrating for most players. Of course, it was pretty much shut down before: https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2012-January/115619.html Regards Antoine. _______________________________________________ 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
