Well, you admit that yhou don't read python-list, right? Most of us
don't, most of the time. Instead we have important discussions about the
language's future on python-dev, where most of the Python community
cannot participate. I'll say it flat out: I'm uncomfortable with that. I
did not include meta-sig because (or python-list) because my issue is
really with the accidental elitism of the python-dev setup. If
python-dev participants do not agree to have important linguistic
discussions in an open forum then setting up the forum is a waste of
time. That's why I'm feeling people here out first.
