Easy is subjective. I don't consider this easy. I consider it seriously

No, what happened to Eclipse is that the maintainers of maven and ant
ran ahead without asking for input, created an environment that caused
problems for Eclipse and Eclipse got backed into a corner.
As for overcomplicated, I think we can simplify it quite a lot, but I
think I'm doing a poor job of explaining it over email. Perhaps we
could do a Google Hangout tomorrow and discuss it real-time?
Sure thing. Please contact me off-list to discuss when to do this. I'm not
entirely sure it can be tomorrow. I would like to have other Python maintainers
there, especially those who have been involved in RHEL 8 Python modularization
and Petr Viktorin (the team-lead) is on vacation tomorrow.
I'm not going to do this. I guess that after the RHEL 8 experience, neither are
the remaining Python maintainers.
Please defer judgement until we've talked out the whole idea. That's all I ask.
I will try to do that, but I'm seriously biased here. I try not to be, but it's
getting harder with every modularity thread on this list.
