I wonder if Samuele even wants that role?

Anyway, I believe Samuele has more experience with Jython as it is
currently implemented than anyone else, so I must take anything he
says about Jython very seriously.  However, when it comes to pure
*Python* matters (no C and no J) which includes half of Jython's
import semantics, I think it is still Guido's opinion that matters
most.  Without that, there is too much chaos.
