Well, let's simmer things down a bit and see what other people have to
say.  Maybe I'm completely off base.

But to answer the question which the subtext seemed to asking (at least
to me), no, there is no vendetta against you.  And for the record on a
specific detail, I have no problem with python use.  If I have no major
objection based purely on technical grounds, that what you'll be hearing
from me.

And further, in 2.5.x series at least, minor objections can be worked
through after a kernel merge.  But major objections... that's not the
time when something -must- -go- -in-.
