This merely means that Python users are applying Python to problems
that the current set of developers never imagined.  As long as the
flow of solved issues is increasing, that's a symptom of strength, not
weakness.

If that curve ever turns down, it means that users are giving up on
Python as a tool for solving ever harder problems.  That's where it
gets scarey.
