I don't understand your strong reaction.  OK -- saying "if Python 3k 
takes away input() then I'm going to use Ruby" is pretty lame and will 
keep an opinion from being taken seriously.  But all Doug was talking 
about was registering the opinion of people on edu-sig, who are not on 
the py-dev, and who care about these functions where most everyone else 
is merely indifferent.  There's no formal process one way or the other; 
all you can do is register your opinion, there's no vote, it's not a 
democracy, but that doesn't mean that participation doesn't matter.
