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. Scott K
