Bare opinions count so little <wink>. Btw some people do
care about this so you will see some improvements and
we have had some improvement (os.system ...).

It's is simpler than that. It's a matter of agendas. See

- Core language compatibility
- Support for shell-like programming *
- Introspection/analysis tools compatibility
- Support for the "internet protocols" CPython modules
- Better Java/Java frameworks integration
- Fixing bugs
- Refactoring, avoiding that the codebase becomes a mess

This is in no particular order, but confronted with such
a least many mantainers have/will pick * as the item
with the lowest priority. Jython is not primarily about that.

PS: Properly supporting shell-like programming across platforms
over Java is more painful than it seems.
