I noticed that Perl is no longer in the base. I personally never did like Perl too much, the very idea of "TIMTOWTDI" was abhorrent to me. BUT, on that same path lay my liking of the better organization of Python, so my question here is, is it possible that Python might someday be brought into the FreeBSD base, taking much the same place as Perl used to occupy, or is that a very unlikely scenario?
