There have been a number of issues/pr pairs this year that have followed exactly that path. While we'll never know for sure, it is my belief that this would have been applied had I not drawn attention to it. Very few people follow the bug tracker everyday — the sparse Solaris community almost certainly would not have been aware of the tracker entry. Likewise, I don't think there would have been a python-dev thread; otherwise, it would have happened *prior* to the PR, the tracker issue, and all of the comments from the people affected. The call for helpers was made only *after* the user pleas not to pull the trigger. It's all fine now. The decision is being broadly discussed. That is what is important.
