Oh, I forgot to add that if Anatoly's contacted off-lists about this and
the conditions (per Guido's outline) are clearly explained, I don't see how
this can become a PR disaster. FWIW, python-committers is a list with
publicly visible archives - it's very easy to see this whole discussion and
how much though the core devs have put into this (including previous
discussions mentioning Anatoly).
