Thanks (truly!) for considering the feedback.

By the nature of the problem, I doubt it will be realised, since the
problem is knowledge *not* getting to the right people. That's hardly
something that will be observable nor measurable easily, certainly not
within a few months.
So, while I will be deprived of a clear “I told you so” response, that
isn't something I'm much interested in anyway; on the other hand, the
members of a closed forum won't be able to detect the problem easily and
will likely not see the need to fix it.
Anyway, good hunting in your endeavours. I hope you can encourage more
people to quickly become confident enough to discuss their Python issues
in public.
