You've missed my point, which is that for many people working on
CPython, python-dev will be the natural place to discuss those issues,
and the thread will end up on two different lists.

You've missed the point again, which is that the incentive only
motivates those who care about VMs.  It does not motivate those who
care about features that affect VMs.
