@timonsku there's no resources to do that... and the resources that do exist to fund PyPI and such are also paid for by openai

@timonsku like, i'm a sponsoring member of PSF, they did improve things in the last few years (which is why i am one), but it's clear they're stretched very thin and don't have the resources of a shiny startup

@whitequark Yea that is fair. My issue is less with OpenAI specifically and more that ultimate control for cruicial infrastructure is in the hands of an unreliable actor. A neutral foundation is always an important layer of protection. More a critique of governance. I also have not really seen any desire by CPython to even start tackling this, irrespective of the available funds to realize the project. It was consistently pushed off to be "solved by community"
