As someone who has been following this discussion from the beginning, I
have to disagree with you. Josselin has been actively pointing
technical, practical reasons to implement the solution in a way which is
different to that Matthias chooses to implement.

ignored the possibility of consensus building taking advantage of the
fact that he maintains the Python interpreter packages (and the fact
that he is able to push things 100% his way into Ubuntu).
