This stance was probably already argued in the threads in question.
This thread is more of a health-check. As an observer, it did not
look like any headway was being made, and I suggested the solimaic
solution. It has been pointed out to me that headway IS being made
and they are close to a solution. I think this thread can safely be
sunset.<br>

Every conceivable way to fix pathlib have already been argued.
Are any of them worth doing? Can we get consensus enough to
implement one of them? If not, we should consider either
dropping the matter or dropping the module.<br>

Right now, I don't see pathlib removed. Why? Because using strings
alone has its caveats (we all know that). So, I cannot imagine an
alternative concept to pathlib right now. We might call it
differently, but the concept stays unchanged.<br>
<br>
MAYBE, if there's an alternative concept, I could be convinced to
support dropping the module.<br>

PS: The only way out that I can imagine is to fix pathlib. I am
not in favor of fixing functions of "os" and "os.path" to except
"path" objects; which does the majority here discuss now with the
new __fspath__ protocol. But shaping what we have is definitely
worth it.<br>
