Please forgive me if anything I say has already been mentioned.  I am certainly in support of a moratorium on Python core and switch the focus to Python libraries.  I&#39;m sure others have noticed that as of late many proposals have been of lower quality or are the same old ideas that keep getting requested.<br>

<br>My only concern would be that the technology field is always changing and some great new technologies may come up during the moratorium.  To alleviate this concern I propose that the primary Python core developers either meet once a year, or at the halfway point of the moratorium.  They would then discuss whether or not any changes within the field are major enough to warrant a change within Python core.<br>

<br>With these meetings we would be able to ensure that the Python core is only worked on if absolutely necessary, leaving us free to concentrate on library development.<br><br>--Patrick Laban<br>
