There's a huge gap between criticism + discussion, and the habitual flame of distribute vs setuptools. I think you know what I mean.
Feel free to propose some changes on these rules, because I think you would be as happy as I would not to have to deal with flames like that.
Tarek, as a more or less neutral observer, I have to agree that you seem to react a bit sensitive to anything that could be construed as a flame against distribute or the decision to fork.
Probaly so, that's why I would like PJE to help building that FAQ, just to make sure it's not biased.
That's a good idea!
Because you have to admit that the flames here, whether they are directed to distribute or setuptools, are unnecessary pain, and higher than in other lists.
Well, every list has its own problem, look at python-dev... Georg -- Thus spake the Lord: Thou shalt indent with four spaces. No more, no less. Four shall be the number of spaces thou shalt indent, and the number of thy indenting shall be four. Eight shalt thou not indent, nor either indent thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to four. Tabs are right out.
