And it's even less interesting for me, as (unlike Jeremy) I never worked at
CNRI so have no interest at all in their internal politics.  From my POV, it
looks almost exactly like a divorce, except that besides just arguing over
custody of the children (Python's license makes that pretty much a non-issue
over the long haul), they're also wrangling over who gets the kid's used
clothes, the old security blanket, and the first tooth that fell out.
Separations are painful!  Sometimes messy too.  This is apparently one of
those.  I do believe both sides want Python to thrive, though.
