[Python-Dev] A "day of silence" on PEP 572?

[Steve Dower]

There has been off-list discussion with the authors, for sure. But most of the recent threads are disputes and not useful.

At this point, if you're not helping clarify what’s in the PEP, you’re not helping by posting an opinion.

But since we can’t possibly convince everyone not to post their opinions, perhaps all the rest of us (especially the PEP authors!) should abandon the list for a few days and let them shout it out :)

Hoenstly, this feels like a recipe for a disaster...
​Many of the people who have strong opinions in this know the PEP authors from years of working together.​
 
​They might feel that personal channels are appropriate.​ I'd agree it would be a bit presumptuous and spammy of others to use them.
