[Python-Dev] PEP 414

[Yury Selivanov]

Hi Armin,

Sorry if I sounded like 'attacking' you.  I certainly had no such
intention, as I believe nobody on this list.

But if you'd just stuck to the point, without touching very 
controversial  topics of what version of python is a good choice 
and what is a bad, with full review of all porting scenarios with 
well-thought set of benchmarks, nobody would ever call your PEP 
"polemic".

Thanks,
-
Yury
