Indeed. I've already been convinced (see my reply to Chris McDonough
earlier) that this is the more practical approach. I've already updated
my copy of the PEP on Bitbucket
(https://bitbucket.org/carljm/python-peps/src/0936d8e00e5b/pep-0404.txt)
to reflect this switch, working (slowly) on an update of the reference
implementation.
