Does that also include my suggestion about improving the startup message?

Nobody reads that; plus it looks like it's excruciatingly complex to get it right at all times; and getting it wrong is worse that not mentioning it at all.

Regarding the meme floating about the arrogance of Pythoneers: bloggers (pretty much by definition) are actually the most arrogant species; don't confuse "bloggers say" with "most people think".
