I'm afraid that absolutely zero consensus is emerging :( I've withdrawn
myself entirely from the discussions as they've proven completely
useless.

Last time I saw behaviour like this was PEP 308. Hmm - PEP 308 -
controversial syntax. PEP 318 - controversial syntax. PEP 328 - somewhat
controversial syntax (I still don't overly like it).

Anyone want to guess what PEP 338 will be like? ;)
