This is surely true; Steve Langasek asked if this was a real issue in Ubuntu or merely a potential issue. Granted if it is a real issue, then why not use perl? Yes, I hate perl too, but really, the argument "hey, people like Python too" implies that we should have a scheme interpreter, a perl, a python, emacs lisp, and well, everything anyone might want. Or, we say "we aren't going to support *every* high-level language" and stick to one. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
