I have not said anything on this topic either way. But I think a general 
moratorium is a false solution to that particular problem. Guido should 
just make a clear pronouncement (again) and let people quote that in 
response to initial posts, before they *appear* to gain steam. Each time 
Python doubles in popularity, the number of people wanting such things 
will approximately double. That is the price of success.
