I'm puzzled by this vote.  I did not know that people took
random votes of Python developers in advance of a PEP.  To
paraphrase the IETF:  I don't believe in votes, just rough
consensus and running code.

If we are going to vote, please keep in mind the intended
meaning of votes:

+1, I endorse
0, I don't endorse
-1, I veto; this proposal will get in over my dead body

Don't veto unless you feel strongly.  If you veto lots of
things, Guido might end up ignoring your vetos <wink>.
