None of those are reasons, they're opinions and weary old excuses. I'm not necessarily saying munging is the correct thing to do (although, personally, I support it and would prefer if the python lists did it) but it's about a clash of opinions about what cases and behaviors should be supported and encouraged. Since it's obviously not my call as I'm not the admin of the python lists I adjust to what the list does, but claiming that people asking for the other behavior are incorrect or out of line in some way is just unjustified. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
