Hi Armin, Sorry if I sounded like 'attacking' you. I certainly had no such intention, as I believe nobody on this list. But if you'd just stuck to the point, without touching very controversial topics of what version of python is a good choice and what is a bad, with full review of all porting scenarios with well-thought set of benchmarks, nobody would ever call your PEP "polemic".

Could you just remove the statement completely? I will let Nick handle the PEP wording.
I don't think that PEPs are the right place to put such polemic and biased statements. Why call it polemic? If you want to use ubuntu LTS you're forcing yourself to stick to a particular Python version for a longer time. Which means you don't want to have to adjust your code. Which again means that you're better of with the Python 2.x ecosystem which is proven, does not change nearly as quickly as the Python 3 one (hopefully) so if you have the choice between those two you would chose 2.x over 3.x. That's what this sentence is supposed to say. That's not polemic, that's just a fact.
Nobody asked you to express your *personal* feelings and thoughts about applicability or state of python3 in the PEP. That is not a personal-feeling-PEP. If people would be 100% happy with Python 3 we would not have these discussions, would we.
Why is it that I'm getting "attacked" on this mailinglist for writing this PEP, or the wording etc.
