I am, to put it lightly, extremely frustrated, at this point.

Okay, but what are you frustrated about?

I am sorry, for myself obviously - but also for Python. Obviously, I am doing it all wrong - as I see lots of other issues being picked up immediately.

Doing what wrong?

All volunteers need some level of recognition to keep moving on.

And, while you may not give a damn about anything other than Windows, macos and/or Linux - there are other platforms that would like a stable Python.

???

Have the core devs decided to drop support for AIX? Have your patches been rejected or something? Please explain what the actual problem is.
