I personally had already posted a +0 vote, but after readings Alex's
wonderful post, I change mine to -1.  Perhaps booleans would work better
as a module in the standard library if people feel the need to have them.
Either that or we can start pushing operator.truth() more (which I didn't
even realize existed until this thread started).

And as for postponing it, I think that is a VERY good idea.  It would be
nice to have a release where I don't need to think about using any
__future__ imports.
