I think most people won't intuitively file performance issues as "feature requests", since it doesn't sound like a feature. > A third option for > "other improvement" may also work (since that would also cover things > like clarifying doc wording, fixing comments, adjusting code to be > more readable/obviously correct, etc). But then why not keep a clear categorization of these "other improvements"? By the way, doc wording fixes and cosmetic code changes often get backported. :) cheers Antoine. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
