For an upstream maintainer, that's not the only thing to consider.  "Any
choice on all target platforms" does not equal "the best choice".

In any case, it _would_ be good for somebody who's used it to file some
bugs on libxml2's python interface.  If it's driving people to use
expat-based modules for speed and usability reasons, then it needs work,
and there's no better way to tell Daniel that than to file specific
bugs.
