Those of us who study management for a living are definitely not
surprised.  I recommend Robert Townsend's "Call Yourself Up" from _Up
the Organization_: he advises CEOs to ring up the company's toll-free
number and find out what the customers deal with.  Urk!

This is the "same s---, different dept", that's all.  And it's a lot
harder to avoid than most folks think.

Kudos to Nick for "calling himself up", to python-dev for creating a
language and development ecology with so few unnecessary barriers, and
to Guido for setting the tone!
