Not to be abrupt, but if it is too late now, why bother mentioning it?

I effectively stopped considering Python for new projects as of last night.
I can't read Guido's mind, I don't know what other code-breaking changes he
might be considering. I'm not sure he even knows. Where else is he going to
be convinced that "evil" lies in the language and needs to be exorcised?
