Amazing to see so much slow learning taking place. So why don't you all do 
it again some time. Like the next PEP and the next one and the next one, 
and so on ad infinitum. Just like previous PEPs. The old Chinese water 
torture would be more humane than continuing these unending so-called 
"enhancements" to the language. Drip drip drip... Neither you nor Guido 
have a clue; unless this is his secret plan to destroy the appeal of Python 
by setting Python programmers at each other's throats, or they begin to 
associate emotional discord with the language and decide to keep their 
distance. If so, the plan is well executed.

People aren't going to change, so Guido needs to adjust to the reality of 
the political consequences of his current strategy.
