As I've noted before (sorry for repeating myself), I think the controversy
around this issue is evidence of a problem.  If you know that the decorator
idea is the right thing to do and you are comfortable with a syntax, then I
think you should go forward, and we'll all (speaking for myself :) follow
along.  OTOH, if you are just tired of talking about it and want to move
on, and don't know for sure that Python needs this, then I encourage you
to move on without decorators for now.
