I believe the core devs back then carefully considered all options and decided that bpo/roundup was the way to go.

If there is specific parts of the PEP that gives people that impression, then I'd definitely want to work and improve that.<br></div><div><br></div></div></div><div hspace="streak-pt-mark" style="max-height:1px"><img alt="" style="width:0px;max-height:0px;overflow:hidden" src="https://mailfoogae.appspot.com/t?sender=abWFyaWF0dGEud2lqYXlhQGdtYWlsLmNvbQ%3D%3D&type=zerocontent&guid=9378e7e2-44f7-4be2-94a4-9518a97d991c"><font color="#ffffff" size="1">ᐧ</font></div>
