No.  What will take more time?  Having all of us convert All of our
python code to use the old floats by adding one line per file?  Or
reading articles in comp.lang.python about why doesn't floating point
work properly -- even if we just immediately hit `n' (or whatever you do) 
as soon as we recognize that it is just another poor soul who doesn't
understand about floating point?  even if we don't answer the question?

I suppose we could configure Narval to answer those questions automatically
but unless you also delete them from the mailing list/newsgroup I will
still waste too much time this way.
