If GitHub showed you how many clones were made you may get surprised... there's a lot of silent people out there.

I suspect that future generations will be disgusted by the fact that we find it okay to shoot conscious beings for amusement. Am generalising of course.

Agreed. Also, unless I'm missing something, bottom-posting is now a lot more painful.

The word was "incredible", and I was actually not referring to 2.7 specifically, but to maintenance releases in general (3.3.1 also got hundreds of bugfixes).
141.
by tshepang 14y ago
Surely, even with maintenance releases, there are exceptions where developers decide to break the rules a bit? Check the justification for this specific one: http://bugs.python.org/issue10211 .

"current users of Python 2.x" is too broad to be accurate; anyways, it will be interesting to watch how motivated the holdouts will be when the 2015 deadline[1] approaches. [1]: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2013-April/12516.

Why would you use/support the fork? Why not just upgrade?

The amount of love the core developers give to maintenance releases is incredible... "hundreds of bugfixes"!

Why do you say paid GNOME contributors have been abandoned? Where do you get this idea, and which company are you referring to? Also, what do you mean by "GNOME development is lacklustre"?
