If that is your long-term goal, I think you could do it in three steps.
I think the first step is a PEP. This is not a small change that can be just done on a whim.
And of course after the first two steps you can proselytize for the next one. If you can convince lots of people that they should care about the choice more often and get them using the explicit functions, it’ll be a lot harder to argue that everyone is happy with today’s behavior.
If they need to be *convinced* to use the new function, then they don't really need it and didn't want it. -- Steven
