Wherein Benjamin Franklin answers questions pertaining to the Django development process

[Bitrot McGee]

Q: When will Django finally have every feature I want?
A: "Ambition has its disappointments to sour us, but never the good
fortune to satisfy us."

Q: What the fuck is taking so long?
A: "As we enjoy great advantages from the inventions of others, we
should be glad of an opportunity to serve others by any invention of
ours; and this we should do freely and generously."

Q: Should certain Trac fields only be editable by commiters?
A: "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little
Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

----------

I hope this attempt to lighten the mood isn't too distracting.

To the core team: your efforts are so, so appreciated. Benjamin
Franklin (et al.) know that you have a lot of other things you could
be doing, and that working on Django is too often thankless. Thank
you! You all deserve many, many IRL ponies. A herd of ponies.

To everyone: I'd like to close with a quote by Richard Penn: "We must,
indeed, all hang together, or assuredly we shall all be forced to use
Rails separately." Please keep that in mind. It seems relevant for
some reason.

Careful there, some devs might tweet-call troll while you're not watching.
It's not like anyone warned them about the attitude ;)

Umpires? Strike three off a curveball?

+1, though I'd quoted big bang theory, no need for a umpire, bdfl
should be more than enough!
