So you admit that discussion of your whining about perceived
grievances would distract busy people from doing useful things to and
with Python... and yet you demand GvR's *personal* involvement. I
think you grossly misunderstand the position of BDFL. It's "servant to
all", but not "grovelling, boot-licking sap with no life who spends
all day dealing with idiots". A subtle difference, I'm sure, and I can
understand how someone of your intellect could fail to recognize it.
