I like the "we'll do updates later, like the ability to securely verify updates." I wouldn't even put this in the archive, let alone in any kind of default install. I also like the approach of we'll add features to python2.7 and call it 2.7 still because we know there's no 2.8. Seems like not really getting the point. Finally, what I read is, other platforms suck, so we're going to try to push Linux distros to a lowest common denominator.
