Your obsession with Guido is tiring. Open source is not a cult of
personality. It's about doing what you can where you can when you can
to make things better. Insisting that he "endorse" your ideas is
ridiculous.

It would really help your arguments if you actually spent some time
investigating the issues you're ranting against:

http://docs.python.org/3/bugs.html

Documentation bugs are a brief paragraph at the top of the page, the
rest of which addresses bugs with the language & standard library.

Third party modules will never be handled by the Python bug tracker,
nor should they be lumped into the same "path"; they're the concern of
their developers who shouldn't be bound by your desire for a One True
Way. Community "bugs" should be addressed on the python list.

> My point is that we

You keep saying "we" when you mean other people apart from yourself.
If you have ideas for improvement, _then implement them_. The crate.io
guys didn't wait for community validation to address what they
perceived were issues with PyPI, they rolled up their sleeves and did
something about it.
