If you trust that Guido is telling the truth (I do), that's half-true.
More precisely, that's *one* of the desirable outcomes.  The other
desirable outcome is that the Python community comes out so resoundingly
in favor of conditional expressions that it's a clear win for the
language as a whole.  After ten years of debate on this subject, Guido
honestly doesn't care which outcome he gets.
