I assume you're referring to some statements I and maybe Nick made several years ago, I don't think Brian, Jason or Zac ever really thought about it. I can only speak for myself, but those past statements were mostly due to experiences made with glsa-check and issues in the python/pyxml relationship (in 2003), things may have changed since then so those statements could be re-evaluated.
