Agreed. When lack of reviews is an issue, imposing additional "not
fun" work on core devs isn't sustainable. As someone who does
(non-Python) software support for my day job, dealing with legacy
issues in Python doesn't feel like a hobby, it feels like work (and
unlike the rest of my day, I'm not getting paid for it).
