What Just said is that "majority doesn't like", not that there is
breaking code. You can destroy the interpreter without breaking old
code. I, personaly, *don't like* that, since it looks like an ugly hack
to me. You may not care about this, and I don't expect to change the
world with my feelings. Indeed, I've even tried to expose a different
approach, as a way to avoid saying just "I don't like", but it looks
like you don't care anyway, right? My intention was not to just create
another flamewar in python-dev, I can guarant you.
