[Python-ideas] Please reconsider the Boolean evaluation of midnight

[Amber Yust]

It was closed by one or two individuals, and there has been significant
comment since then. Asking to revisit a decision isn't crazy, and there
have been reasonable suggestions made. I don't see a lack of core dev
"jumping upon" as an active indication that patches would be rejected;
merely that core devs are unlikely to produce such a patch themselves.
