Sorry, that was meant to go to the list, not as a personal comment to Tarek.
No problem.
Can we please avoid this flaring up into another Tarek vs PJE fight?
FWIW, I'm mildly annoyed by setuptools tracker emails appearing here, but I live with it. I suggest others do the same.
I don't want to get into a fight (but I am getting used at receiving personal attacks and try not flame things) , but these notifications, among other things, makes it unclear that the Setuptools project is a distinct project from Distutils. For example, I am sometimes receiving mails from people complaining that easy_install doesn't work right and that Distutils should be fixed. It's great that Distutils-SIG host several projects, especially since many people want to have a unified project for the packaging topic. But these notifications have to be straightened up, and I don't see any rationale yet why they should stay in this list. Tarek
