And this just proves that my response wasn't anywhere near as
considered as I thought. You explicitly said 2.6, which I'd forgotten.

I have no problem with going with your instinct in 2.6. But I do
believe that there may be more breakage than you have considered (PEP
302 experience talking here :-)) so get it in early rather than late!

Of course this is all a bit moot now, as the decision seems to have
been made. Sigh.

Paul.
