The issue, in my view, is that input() (and raw_input()) are almost
exclusively relegated to the domain of beginners and tutorials.  Real
programs almost never use them.  As a result, this change just isn't seen
to be all that important.

If you can figure out where this could have been written so that you would
have seen it, I'm sure a documentation change could be made.
