I personally had to give up on actually *reading* all the threads
quite some time ago, so if it's a topic where the outcome doesn't
matter to me, I'll tune it out. I may occasionally dive back into a
long-lived thread if I get curious as to how it has spun on for so
long :)

Aye, I know I'm prone to the latter problem - to the point where I'll
sometimes include an opening TL;DR on emails in a work context :P

However, I also tend to assume everyone treats python-ideas as a "when
I have time, and the thread seems interesting" activity (since any
actual proposed changes will still need to go through python-dev or
the issue tracker), so I'm a bit more self-indulgent here.

Cheers,
Nick.
