Well then, let me set the record straight on that one point:  

I admit that it was entirely my mistake (and mine alone) to implicitly
assume, by adopting such a logging & persistence architecture (dating
back to 1.5.2, mind you!), that new keywords would not be introduced
into the Python language so as to potentially break all existing Python
code.  

Silly me!  How unreasonable.
