from the new Tcl Code Team rules:
"A project can also be proposed by someone outside the Tcl Core
Team, but it can't be approved without an advocate on the Tcl
Core Team who will take personal responsibility for it. A project
must have support from at least 2 members of the Tcl Core Team
(including the proposer); if anyone in the Tcl Core Team objects
to the proposal, then there must be at least 4 members in favor
(including the proposer). If there are two or more "no" votes then
the proposal is rejected, regardless of the number of people in
favor.
"The idea here is that the Tcl Core Team can only work effectively
if it is highly collegial; any project that generates significant =
contro-
versy should not go into the Tcl core."
and for the record, I'm fully prepared to vote "no" on list =
comprehensions,
augumented assignments, range literals, and every trace of a new =
operator
that changes how python code is tokenized and parsed.
not that it will change anything:

see the usual "do we really need this?" rule being replaced with "what =

things
with fancy names and existing patches are on the top of that list :-(
