Christian clarified this later in the thread: - full support is stating confidently that software running that way is using network connections that are as secure as we know how to make them - build support is ensuring it builds, without vouching one way or the other for the security of the resulting network connections - no support is "it doesn't build, but even if it did, we wouldn't vouch for the security of the resulting connections" Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncogh...@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia _______________________________________________ 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
