No, I disagree.  You can't remove something that does not exist ;-)
I thought it was agreed to only add 0o and 0b and *not* add 0O and 0B.
It is pointless to add something in one PEP that no one(?) wants only to
delete it again in another PEP.

 (It seems that

There is no need at all for 0O and 0B.
