I would say compatibility with Sun/Apple probes should not stand in
the way of implementing this in cpython. Of course familiarity to
existing users is a consideration, but in cases where self-consistency
can be improved, I don't think we should be overly concerned about
legacy scripts. I would estimate that 90% of future users will never
have used either Sun or Apple probes, 9% will have used Apple and 1%
Sun. (This is completely unscientific guess, of course.) |
