Nick Coghlan's explanation of what justifies a syntax change (most of message
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2008-October/082831.html )
should probably be added to the standard docs/FAQs somewhere.

At the moment, I'm not sure exactly where, though.  At the moment, the
Developer FAQ (http://www.python.org/dev/faq/)  is mostly about using
specific tools (rather than design philosophy), and Nick's explanation
may be too detailed for the current Explanations section of
www.python.org/dev/

Possibly as a Meta-PEP?
