Of course, I appreciate heavily what Phil has done.
I'm not against Python scripts per se in Emacs. I just would like to see
a decision that they are acceptable. And it shall be documented
somewhere, which kind of interpreters are accepted for Emacs scripts at all.

It's not bike shedding. It's about future maintainability of Emacs. If
everybody contributes scripts in her pet language, we will have a
situation that those scripts cannot be maintained any longer in the
future.
Best regards, Michael.
