Guido withdraws his support for the proposal due to many people 
declaiming that setattr, getattr, and hasattr are too rarely used to 
justify a new syntax (especially since nobody can agree to a syntax that 
looks pythonic). Many other followed Guido's lead to formally turn their 
"not vote"'s, +0s, and +1s to -1s for the reason.
