Hi,

Many people ask me regulary "how to find easy Python issues", and the last 3 years, I always failed to find such issues... Many "easy issues" are older than 3 years old, have more than 20 comments and no compromise has been found how to fix the "easy" issue...

In that case, it's probably reasonable to remove the "easy" tag ;-)

I propose a new policy for core developers: stop fixing really easy issues!

That's a good policy. I remember doing so some years ago. Of course, if some "easy" issue you care about hasn't been fixed for 6 months, perhaps you can fix it yourself after all.

Also, if some such issues are still unfixed at the eve of a release, better fix them yourself too.

Regards

Antoine.
