I'm *not* ignoring them; I'm stating a strong belief that the great
majority of them will not be adversely affected by this change.  Since
almost by definition they're not likely to speak up very much, I'm
happy to hear arguments from a qualified observer (such as yourself)
on their behalf.  But 10,000 students who use a VCS for a school
project don't matter.  The question is, how many of them would work on
bleeding edge Python?  Those who won't can't suffer from this change!

On the other hand, every Bazaar-using developer who has a copy of bzr
>= 1.9 is *already* suffering.

I really hope we won't have to wait that long!
