If it was reorganised rr would claim that it had split the community in 
the same way that the disastrous migration from Python 2 to 3 has done. 
  The minor snag to his argument is that I'm not aware of any such split.

Python 2.8, RickedPython, and the latest entry into the race, 
BartCPython, all vapourware.  At least rr knows something about 
tkinter/IDLE, whereas the latter appears to know squat about anything. 
You can fool all of the programmers, all of the time?
