That's the moratorium-with-exceptions again, which cannot work because

New technology should be dealt with in a library first anyway.

Anyway, the "Python core" includes a lot of stuff that isn't covered
by the moratorium (which only prohibits changes to syntax and
associated semantics, not implementation issues).

I expect that any issues with the moratorium will be discussed on
python-dev first; but the yearly language summit will be a good point
to review it too.

With apologies, in this discussion I lost track of the fact that the moratorium is specific to the syntax and semantics issue.  In this case I am in full support of the moratorium.  It gets tiring seeing the same ideas proposed over and over again.  Beyond python-dev the language summit should have a limited discussion about the moratorium, but beyond that it should stand.
