I wouldn't call that a whole implementation being reconsidered. People are
just bike shedding over which wall to paint first. The color has already
been established.

Besides, Larry is both the release manager for 3.4 and argument clinic
proponent. If we need a beta3 instead of an rc1 next, that is up to him. :)

I'm not weighing in on the pydev thread despite having opinions because it
just doesn't matter to me in the end. I'd just be adding noise and am happy
to accept anything so long as argument clinic does stay in for 3.4.

It'll never happen otherwise.
