Any online group is an opportunity to register dissent in a way that is public, open, immediate, interactive, and will (probably) be preserved for historians to check. The fact is, some people have gripes with Python 3; they are letting it be known. If no one did, there could be no later time at which people could look back and know what the reaction was to its introduction--it would just be a blank. Aren't opinions that dissent from the prevailing ones important to register, whether one thinks they are right or wrong? Che -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
