Thanks to those who did not communicate ideas outside of the DC

You're not a dictator who has the rights to command what helpers to
exist, especially if your favorite one is not backed by any written
rationale.

Single "why?" document would help to resolve situation much better than
endless whining about "bad python-support developers". Just accept the
facts that you've failed to communicate ideas behind policy, reevaluate
situation and propose something that is constructive, this will be
beneficial for all of us.
