If this issue were not to be immediately closed, then cleaning the components and nosy lists should have been the first response.

I was tempted to do the latter now, to cut short the cavalcade of un-nosy emails, but anticipated that someone would object.  But I will remove myself again after this post.

Larry: Victor's recent issue and action pulled us further into a verbally violent and occasionally physically violent American Cultural war.  The result has already been pretty ugly.  We have been and will be attacked from extremists on both sides if consider changes on a case-by-case basis, accepting some and rejecting others.  I don't want the tracker ruined as a usable workspace.

We have been and will be attacked from extremists on both sides for considering changes on a case-by-case basis, accepting some and rejecting others.  On #34660, Raymond Hettinger merged one PR and I reviewed the other.  Marko called our actions 'madness' and here called us 'irresponsible'.  On the other hand, the OP criticized me for wanting change and huffed away with the claim that like it or not, we will somehow eventually be *forced* to change (as he wishes).  I do not volunteer for this sort of treatment.
