I understand the desire, but there is no "we" in that sense. Those of us using python are a "community" in that we have shared interests, but not in the sense that we have shared risks and rewards. Each person/team has to deal with the constraints of their own specific situation. So, the bottom line is the tool either gains organic adoption or it doesn't. I really don't think having a king who can decree a switch is the answer. The answer would have been not forcing the choice in the beginning. Now the answer is probably going to be that more people look at alternative ecosystems that haven't suffered from this sort of schism.
