I don't understand what you mean by "replace indentation". You haven't replaced indentation, it is still there.

Also, I think that any proposal to remove significant indentation will go nowhere. Python's philosophy is that significant indentation is a feature, not a bug to be removed. You might as well propose getting rid of functions.
