Indeed.  Does this reaction indicate anything in particular?

Maybe he could help us by outruling some possibilities so we don't spend 
another 1000 hours (combined) discussing mute issues.  We played around
to quite some exhaustion already <wink>.  From his original PEP I e.g
read that he is not ready to introduce a new keyword for a "minor feature".  
That's still the case i guess.
