I think it's an unfortunate analogy.
Propose a better one, then. I'm definitely not wedded to the ones I've proposed! But we have a PR problem *now*. The loyal opposition clearly intend to continue trash-talking Python 3 until the libraries get to 100% (or a government-approved approximation of 100%). The topic on #python seems unlikely to change at this point, with both Glyph and JP pointedly failing to denounce it publicly, while Stephen defends it and says it's not going to change as long as the libraries aren't done. What do you suggest? Or do you think there's no PR problem we should worry about, just accept that this going to be a further drag on adoption and improvement, and keep on keeping on?
