FUD. Lots and lots of FUD. More reasons to not promote your
distribution. Use it if you will, but it doesn't merit any further
visibility.

If you prefer, go for it. Everyone claims that it's easier to move to
<some other language> rather than to migrate to Python 3, and I'm
calling people's bluffs now. Go ahead and move to another language if
it's easier - it's no skin off my nose.

Or maybe it isn't easier, and that's just an empty argument. Funny how
it keeps coming up.
