Re: XS-Python-Version vs pyversions
Hi Steve,
I don't think that keep accusing the only (and really) active python
helper developer would help anyone, you made your statement pretty
clear already :)
Additionally, please consider that:
- if python-central was good, I don't think there would have been any
need for an additional helper
- if python-support is that bad, I don't think that developers would
have used, and chosen to be the default|suggested|preferred|etc one.

ehm... so how are you expecting external people to evaluate your
statement? a "either you're at that BoF or stick to what I'm telling
now" it's unacceptable. Keep things secrets does not help anyone.
Moreover, could you please tell us how the release team exactly used
the XS-P-* fields so far? Real examples, not "we used them, don't
worry", are appreciated.

Now, if you really think that the only culprit here is pysupport
developer, then maybe your opinion are a bit biased.
Yes, I would really like to have the ultimate python helper, just one,
but now the only one elegible to this status is python-support. And
you want to know why? because python toolchain maintainer is
neglecting his activities in Debian (and we all sadly know that).
So, if you /really/ want to accuse someone, you should better
reconsider your target.
Oh, good morning everyone (@7.30AM) :)
