I'd be tempted to kill PEP 422 as not worth the hassle if we did this.
I assume you mean the "namespace" keyword part of PEP 422, since PEP 422's class initialization feature is entirely orthogonal to definition order or namespace customization. (Indeed, I cannot recall a single instance of class initialization in my code that actually *cared* about definition order. Certainly I haven't had any situations where a pre-existing definition order would've eliminated the need for a class-level initialization.)
That and the second argument to the new initialisation hook. So you're right, the consequences for PEP 422 would be "greatly simplify" rather than "kill". Cheers, Nick.
