Hi Guido, thanks for calling me out. Yikes, I'm terribly sorry that it came over that way! I'll write the RFC. Should I expand the existing one (this would need Chris’ pending changes though) or write a new one? My goals were to sound factual and terse, not to insult anyone. And I don't see the flaws in my phrasing, so it seems I'm still sometimes bad at written communication. @everyone who perceived it as Guido did: It would be really nice if you could pinpoint the phrases and reasons that make it seem that I mean it that way.

Philipp, you need to stop debating this issue *now*.
You need to write a PEP that can go into Python 3.7. Further debate at the current level (a hair-width close to name-calling) is not going to sway anyone.
(This actually goes for Chris too -- nothing is obviously going to change Philipp's mind, so you might as well stop debating and save all the onlookers the embarrassment.)
