Yes, this is the real problem. It's simply not compelling enough, even for supporters of the idea, for them to do the necessary work to make it happen.
It is indeed a problem. When a good idea dies because it is simply too hard to get through the hassles of pushing it to a decision, there is a fundamental problem. It's good to have a bit of inertia, so that status quo gets maintained, but at the moment, the extent to which ideas get shot down makes it look as if this list is python-idea-killing. This keeps happening. All the successful ideas seem to happen elsewhere, notably on typing-sig. ChrisA
