At some point, if the maintainer isn't doing his job, he gets |
| 29 |
bypassed. Especially when dealing with a conversion like python.eclass |
| 30 |
where few people know or care how it works. If we waited for |
| 31 |
individual maintainers it will never get done. |

Unless you have some reason to slow him down, please get out of his |
| 34 |
way and let him work. |
