Yes.

The idea of a slogan is to attract people of all ages,
interests and knowledge levels. It is part of the PR, so we
better sure that people can understand it at first glance.

"It's a matter of time" doesn't fall into that category
and "For the sake of simplicity" sounds arrogant. Perhaps
we need something as simple as "Why Python ?" to
attract more people from outside the Python-Sphere. We'd
need some good tutorials in that case, though.
