Since you presume to speak for 99.9% of c.l.py, it's fair for me
to suggest you don't know what you're talking about.  I doubt
even the present membership of python-dev really has time to read
it, and very few of us with only an observer's interest are going
to be able to keep up.  I'm not making this up, see comments in
this thread.  Most of us don't have even the knowledge to always
follow what's going on.  Which has been part of the value of the
summaries, digested by someone who does.

I would be more than happy if I didn't have any reason to read
python-dev.
