I understand the hardline position, though I don't like it: "if you don't know how to do it yourself, we won't help you do it at all."[1] But this "defense in depth" suggestion really violates the "consenting adults" principle. One warning in the docs and another in the name itself should be enough, and if it isn't, Mommy should take Jimmy's RaspberryPi away. Footnotes: [1] Personally, I think that taken seriously, this reasoning applies to anybody who uses computers for anything other than programming, though. Should anybody be allowed to use computers, given that they're going to put their personal data on Facebook for their stalkers to see or inadvertently install botnet software with whatever warez they are weak for? _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
