Can you (or somebody) augment that list with who's for and who's against?

the only point I was maybe trying to make with the data, is that it is very difficult to distinguish - just reading the threads - in this case of USENET debate whether conseus is building or the same people are writing the same thing (which they like) very often.

So updating the PEP is a risky operation .
