Joseph,
I will ping this again on Friday, since that will have been a week since
my request for information.
I'm not sure we can move forward on this issue until Andreas makes his
position clear, either a sustained objection (blocks consensus), or a
recorded objection to the change (does not block consensus).
Paul,
I'd like your opinion on this also. Do you have any opinion on the use
of python more uniformly within glibc to replace existing awk, perl,
and shell scripts? It would require a minimal python in the bootstrap,
which is what SUSE is objecting to.
