More nonsense.  There's nothing pc about avoidance of false accusations.  I guess you calling me incompetent to read English is a step up from saying I am making stuff up to complain about it, but still it's not great.

What's wrong with just saying something like "I understood Matthias' proposal differently.  I don't think he intended that."?  There's no need to accuse anyone of anything.

The point he thought most important (use /usr/bin/python2) was already done.  A number of people have spoken up against the idea of adding new python2 binary packages.  Maybe I'm wrong and that was never intended.  If so, then great, we're done.
