I.e. if you put a -1 or +1 - put it with a short sentence that summarizes the key factor in your decision. There is no +0 or -0 that are used to give everybody else a hint about your feelings towards.


For example:
+1 - I use patch.py diff.py counterpart that accepts only unified diffs without any options, so it would be nice if diff.py generated unified diffs without any options as well

-1 - I don't use diff.py to generate my diffs, I do not care that it is not a part of standard library, I know that it's output format is incompatible with unix diff(1) format, and I still want diff.py to generate incompatible context diffs by default, even though I could always generate them with -c option
