Indeed, but when they are called out as half-baked (explicitly or
implicitly), and are offered no love by others in the list, perhaps it's
time to let them die.

On the other hand, there is the other argument that comp.lang.python is
the right place to post half-baked ideas, which are then baked, brought
to python-ideas for another round of "you didn't put in blueberries",
before making it to python-dev/python-3000 .
