I'm not being tongue-in-cheek or sarcastic. My question was serious -- if there is a moratorium, is there any reason to bother submitting patches for functional changes to built-ins? A lot can change between now and 2013, and I for one wouldn't bother making a patch that I knew wouldn't even be considered for inclusion for four years, and would likely need to be re-done even if it was accepted. Guido has said that the purpose of the moratorium is to discourage changes to the language.

I haven't been following the discussion, but I wouldn't expect that a moratorium on language changes would rule out adding a method to the set type.

Regards, Martin
