But CLM2 isn't going to be standard for a while yet, not before 2.6, I
think. Not counting development kernels, that is. But they're not
installed by default, right? :)
OK, I'm not sure about this one, I admit. I don't even know how the
flamewars ended on the mailing list, but there was some resistance, and it
seems like a big change to a kernel that's supposed to be close to
release.

Another thing that probably will make Python default faster is that many
GNOME developers seem to like it (PyGNOME is included in Helix GNOME).
I don't know how it is on the KDE side, but with all the good things I've
heard about PyKDE, I wouldn't be surprised if there is some acceptance of
Python there too.
