Because threads that start with "Python's fantastic!!" don't usually
garner many followups?  Same sort of thing as "no news is good news".

The advantage of PEPs is if someone writes one and it gets rejected
there's a chance (and only a chance) of heading off the discussion the
next time around.

Cheers,
