And here's the key point: I wasn't trying to propose a change.
But that's what this list is for, proposing changes. Technically speaking, random "why not" ideas belong on python-list. Nobody's going to make a big deal of it, especially when you're injecting the idea into a related existing thread. *But* you should expect somebody assume you're actually proposing something, and to follow up by explaining "why not" in detail if you post such ideas here. If you don't really have anything invested in the idea, I would recommend just saying, "OK, and thank you for the detailed explanation. I learned a lot." (N.B. That's what you actually did end up saying!)
