You’re conflating two things here: 1. Volume of mails (which is irrelevant for people who have a more advanced mail workflow anyway as has been pointed out as an argument against the very idea that is a firehouse at all) 2. People being... let’s be nice and say.. brutally honest and change averse. Point 2 has no connection to the technology afaik. And point 1 is weak at best. / Anders _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
