You're right. It was. I was intentionally flip; partly to goad people into making an actual case for Giovanni's fears, partly because I was tired and wanted to go to bed, and partly for my own entertainment. I promise to contain my flipness if anyone will make a real case that the two situations are comparable. Surely, "this smells like the BitKeeper fiasco," is rather more simplistic than how others are trying to make it sound. My Googling brings up no argument more robust than that, either for the PSF or the ASF, and the infrastructure list's archives are closed. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
