I didn't get a response from him to my e-mails since early 2010. Maybe others have more luck if they try, but I don't have the impression that waiting another two years gets us anywhere interesting.

Given that it was two months ago that I started the "Fixing the XML batteries" thread (and years since I brought up the topic for the first time), it seems to be hard enough already to get anyone on python-dev actually do something for Python's XML support, instead of just actively discouraging those who invest time and work into it.

I concur. It's important that we consider Fredrik's ownership of the modules, but if he fails to reply to email and doesn't update his repositories, there should be enough cause for python-dev to go on and appropriate the stdlib versions of those modules.

Cheers,
