I guess I should have used the exact wording.

I'm not really interested in rationalization of a change.  That's
what the PEPs are for.

I don't really know how to respond to you.

I know my point and how I feel about it and why I had a "reaction"
to what I was reading.  Personally, I think it's something that
would better Python release notes with minimal effort and get people
up to speed better, faster, etc.

That said, I wholeheartedly thank Andrew K. for his many years of
work on the language, and don't mean to slight his document.

Merely a suggestion.  Bye.
