It’s a fair point. I guess until this day I hadn’t really examined *why* I
trusted Python, but a lot of it had to do with the fact that I trusted the
project lead to make sensible decisions about evolving the language. Every
time he’s made a call in the past that struck me as odd it has turned out
to be for the best.

But I manage a project that needs to answer questions on “sustainability”
all the time — I guess that a lot of questions in that area recently have
made this annxement seem more alarming than it might otherwise.

Best wishes,

Nicholas.
