Off the tree, an apple will never be an orange. BC may not be of grave concern to Python developers. Perhaps thats why it hasn't hit the radar screens. You don't get to 6.5 million domains and a million ip addresses chomping big 'BC' pieces off of developers butts. Tthere is nothing wrong with evolution, nor revolution, provided it's carefully thought out, and executed for a reasonable purpose. Nested comments isn't it.
