[Python-Dev] Re: PEP 282 comments

Kevin, which side are you advocating here?
Definitions:
    'AGAINST' means to NOT provide the ability to log exceptions at levels
        other than ERROR
    'FOR' means that that functionality SHOULD be provided.

First you say:

which implies that you are AGAINST.

Then:

which implies you are FOR it.

which implies again that you are FOR it.

which I am not sure if that implies you are FOR it or confused over which
side Jeremy is supporting.


Confused-ly yours, :)
