Have you looked at the diff? It's not "1000+" commits as you claim. It's 17 commits with most being README changes. The base is not the master branch but the 3.11.0 release.

I do not see why you cannot audit and run this (or atleast read the code) since it's required to have a meaningful discussion, the overriding happens before the module resolution itself so sys.path is irrelevant.
Hmm, maybe it was showing up oddly on GitHub, but I wasn't able to see it as 17 commits - I was just seeing that you were some thousand-odd commits ahead of the main branch. Thanks for pointing this out; and while I do stand by my earlier assessment that a thousand commits *is* too much to audit, I may get a chance to review these actual changes at some point. ChrisA
