If I had wanted to say "you have opinions? fuck off!", I would have said "you have opinions? fuck off!". All I wanted to say is that if you want a common documentation format, and you want it badly, you should show up on python-dev and offer help. Unfortunately, there are not as many Python core developers as Perl core developers, and things move at a slower pace. That's mostly not their fault, and not anyone's fault. It's a consequence of the amount of time that is spent on Python-the-core itself. And why? Well, because it's more fun to program in Python than to program Python.
