No hearing? You haven't answered *any* of our technical objections, instead dismissing them all as irrelevant.
Because you advanced no specific technical objections, instead invoking generalisations. If you prefer the status quo because it's easier to explain (i.e. there's nothing to explain), that's not a technical objection in my book. However you want to look at it, that's fine by me. The example of distil shows that the status quo is not the only way of doing things, and I'll remain interested in any feedback from anyone regarding specific failures of distil in terms of practical workflows that aren't possible. "Doesn't need to be installed in a venv" or "runs as a single file" isn't a failure from my POV, so we'll have to agree to disagree. But, as you say, let's drop it. Jonathan Swift's observation applies. Regards, Vinay Sajip
