Coherent design can be a concern, but not neccessarily overriding.
Anyway, the colon can be usefull when you want to do a one liner:

if istrue: print "it's true"

Personally, I'd be happy to live without that, but it is such a small
deal that I don't care in the least.

Stop flogging the horse, it's DEAD.
