If a debate doesn't lead anywhere, it's just a waste of time.
Code monkey contributions can be handled via sourceforge,
and general whining works just as well on comp.lang.python.

Donning my devil's advocate suite, here are some recent observations:
- Important decisions are made on internal PythonLabs meetings
(unit testing, the scope issue, etc), not by an organized python-
dev process. Does anyone care about -1 and +1's anymore?
- The PEP process isn't working ("I updated the PEP and checked
in the code", "but *that* PEP doesn't apply to *me*", etc).
- Impressive hacks are more important than concerns from people
who make their living selling Python technology (rather than a
specific application). Codewise, nested scopes are amazing.
From a marketing perspective, it's a disaster.
(even more absurd allegations snipped)
Am I entirely wrong?
