So what's the point of adding it to policy now?
Because the current (before today) implementation of pyversions and py3versions both used XS-P-V and silently ignored versions over/under 3 so were doing something that the community pretty clearly didn't want. Switching py3versions to use X3-P-V instead of XS-P-V was the most important thing and it would have seemed wrong to me to implement X3-P-V and not also X-P-V along with it. Bottom line is I didn't want to release with an implementation that the community had rejected (and I thought I'd get to it last month, but didn't). Scott K
