I propose a moratorium on language changes. This would be a period of several years during which no changes to Python's grammar or language semantics will be accepted.
+1 While there are changes that I'd like to see, a moratorium for a few years would benefit all of us in the long run: - It's easier for companies to justify training. - It's easier to gain adoption for long-term projects. - It's easier to hold the attention of potential contributors for bug fixes. (And for many other reasons, but those are big ones in my book these days.) -Fred -- Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdrake at gmail.com> "Chaos is the score upon which reality is written." --Henry Miller
