The kind of people for whom these problems are very serious -- newbies, attracting whom is crucial to Python's future -- just aren't likely to download and try arbitrary SF projects nor any release that's not "final"; the people who DO download and try SF projects and alpha/beta/rc releases -- and submit bug reports for things they dislike -- are clearly more likely to have well configured machines, avoid using "personal firewalls" that as Gerhard reminded us are in fact of dubious utility though popular, or even (as Tim Peters reports he did) investigate the sources enough to satisfy themselves that the firewall's report is bogus and not submit that as an idlefork bug.
