I think that the fact that there isn't a lot of traffic should be
taken as a sign of success. You and the other people who work on the
releases deserve a lot of credit.

For myself, I'm glad that there's a place where it's possible to get
the attention of the platform experts because very occasionally a
platform issue comes up. For example, a month ago we got a question
over on the python-help list about Python for Windows on ARM and it
was a little trouble tracking down someone who could answer it. (In
case anyone's curious: Python for Windows on ARM isn't on Microsoft's
store because few binary modules are compiled for it and Microsoft
doesn't want users to be mad and/or confused when, for example, "pip
install pandas" doesn't work for it.)

That said, I don't much mind whether that place is here on this list
or over on a section of the PSF's web board. I tend to like mailing
lists a little more, but that's a very minor thing.

Regards,
Matt
