No. It rather makes clear that people who never had the role of release manager > Otherwise a release > manager could proceed by reading a web page an even, heaven help us, > following specific links to ensure particular actions were taken. When Barry had the keys to the time machine, he wrote PEP 101, to give you a web page with specific links in it: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0101/ > But I see rules being established ("there's a language moratorium: no > changes!", "no release should be made unless the buildbots are *all* > green") and then ignored apparently on a whim. What makes you say that? > Establishing comprehensive procedures can be as difficult as > programming, though, and requires skills that have eluded me through a > fairly lengthy technical career. So it also boils down to shortage of > manpower of a particular kind. People with programming skill would, > understandably, rather invest their time in something they are good at. I think you are belittling the contributions of past and present release managers.
