I'll suggest as an alternative that we have an enormous amount of work to
complete for the 2.0 release, and continuing to argue about this isn't
perceived as a reasonable use of limited time.

I've tried it; I like it; anything I say beyond that would just be jerkoff
rationalizing of the conclusion I'm *condemned* to support by my own
pleasant experience with it.  Same with Guido.

We went over it again at a PythonLabs mtg today, and compared to the other
20 things on our agenda, when it popped up we all agreed "eh" after about a
minute.  It has supporters and detractors, the arguments are getting all of
more elaborate, extreme and repetitive with each iteration, and positions
are clearly frozen already.  That's what a BDFL is for.  He's seen all the
arguments; they haven't changed his mind; and, sorry, but it's a tempest in
a teapot regardless.
