</span>The only part I disagree with is requesting that *other people* care<br>
about marketing numbers if that's not something they're already<br>
inclined to care about. I'm not in any way disputing that folks make<br>
decisions based on inappropriate metrics, nor that it bothers some<br>
folks that there are dozens of perfectly viable programming languages<br>
people may choose to use instead of Python.<br>
<br>
The fact remains that contributors to open source projects work on<br>
what they want to work on or on what their employers pay them to work<br>
on (for a lucky few, those are the same thing), so telling other<br>
contributors that they're working on the "wrong thing" because their<br>
priorities differ from our priorities is almost always going to be<br>
irritating rather than helpful.<br>
