Holger, there's been a lot said in this thread, and it's entirely possible I may have missed something crucial. But it seems to me that a lot of the debate has been about wording and rationale. Can I just cross-check with you, before you leave the discussion: 1. Ignoring all of the explanations and rationale, are you -1 on the technical changes being proposed? 2. Do you have an alternative proposal, or is your -1 in effect a vote to do nothing? Personally, I think that we have to do something about the pip user interface, as the current situation is harming our users. If PEP 470 isn't accepted, we'll need to look again at what we do in relation to PEP 438 support. Frankly, I'd rather not go there, as I think it's clear from the feedback we've received that full support is harmful to our users.
