I think that's the default for most high exposure projects. Unless, of course, both projects have the same author, and that author's primary concern is increasing their own exposure.

The cult of personality that is being nurtured around certain members of the Python community definitely harms the Python ecosystem, because solutions with glaring flaws get a pass when they are stamped with someone's name, and the mismanagement of projects is rarely addressed.

Then there's also the issue of such members of the community exploiting the human tendency to worship others.

Do you think this is unique to the Python community? Any thoughts as to why it might be so?
