I read this on Friday, and decided to let it sit until after the
weekend. Well, it's now Tuesday, and to be frank, it's still as
offensively flippant as it was on Friday. It shows either ignorance of
or cavalier disregard for the sheer amount of work some of us have had
to put into keeping old versions of Python viable.
The latter would be quite unlike you, so it must be the former.
John has sunk *man-months* into keeping old versions of Python viable.
I've put in a lot less myself, but still enough to be painfully aware of
it. I figure Cleber and Beraldo are somewhere in between.
Insinuating John's proposal is motivated by "a desire to be able to use
some shiny new python features without caring about back compat"
disrespects all this work.
We should have a sober discussion on which versions of Python to work
with, and the tradeoffs involved. But before I engage in that, I insist
on resetting the frame: no, this is not about shiny, new Python
features. It is about stopping the bleeding. It is about reducing what
feels more and more like bullshit work to me, so we can actually
accomplish stuff that matters.
And let's give the people who have been doing the actual work the
benefit of the doubt.
