Or, as often happens, George is making too much of a biased sample of
opinions -- those who care enough to respond, *given what has also been
said.* Python-idea works best as a place to evaluate ideas and develop
alternatives. Vote counting is premature. Proposers *must* be flexible
and not defend their initial solution like the Alamo.

I am convinced that *some* people, especially but not limited to
newbies, find the current situation confusing and less than optimal. I
am also pretty convinced that the idea of dumping a copy of everything
into pathlib is the wrong solution. I most agree with the latest posts
from Nathaniel Smith and Stephen Trunball.
