Yes, a private message saying "Hey fellow earthling, do we really care whether httplib is grouped with os or eventlet?" is a productive thing indeed! However, turning that into something that we can all publicly laugh about requires some real skill, and trust between us all. Given our digital communication mediums, it is not likely we can do it all that regularly. I think at best we could gather them all into a couple of keynote slides with the authors' blessings (oh please, somebody do this!) However, if we can all look inward and just do it with self deprecation I'm all for it. The main point I am making is that the less grey areas we have, the less of this we ever have to worry about. It is worth it, to me, to look into keeping this rule alive so that we never ever have to discuss import grouping. (BTW, how many release cycles does one have to deprecate themselves before they remove themselves?) _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev@lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
