Ok. As Stefan points out, exageration is a common rhetoric device - for the better or (mostly perhaps :-)) for the worse. Sorry if that *actually* offended some people. In this case, though, I was a bit miffed since I didn't notice that PEP appearing on python-ideas (or perhaps I already forget discussing it?), which made me frustrated that *perhaps* with less pointless drifting I would have seen it. Being one of the principal maintainers of the ssl module I was definitely interested on giving my opinion. Whether the time required to properly follow python-ideas is a productive involvement for the average core dev is another question. The problem I see with python-ideas is that it may select on free time more than on actual, concrete contribution... (note that python-list has a similar problem with some of its old-timers and regular ranters; the difference is that python-list has a ready alternative in StackOverflow, with perhaps higher-quality answers... it's less and less relevant in the grand scheme of things) 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
