Ok, I had no idea what the effort, etc was.  I agree that it's better to
concentrate on a common framework if that makes the most sense.  I guess
there's a lower user base for Python than there is for .Net.

That would be good if there are possibilities there.

I think that Sean's commentary, though generally critical, plays an
important role.  Most groups can generally do things better, and having
someone calling attention to those things is a good thing.  Or were you
refering to me? :)

You're right that it shouldn't discourage the good work that has been
done.
