Comment 26 for bug 1290847

Matthias Klose, coming from a distro who does a lot less mucking about with upstream packages, having deafult language behavior broken infavor of idealistic guidlines is just plain bad for UX.

Spin it how you want to but shiping broken packages means some one just means someone spent the time trying to make the package conform (and I agree with Ivo, why is this just now an issue when virtualenv was shipping "incorrectly" before.) but failed to take the time to make it actually work as expected. It happens, but it should not happen when it does not need to. This was clearly an idealistic need rather than technical need. Thats why I say "needlessly."

Barry Warsaw, thank you for the bump. Too often some one says they will fix it only to let it languish.
