[Python-ideas] Retire or reword the "Beautiful is better than ugly" Zen clause

[Omar Balbuena]

I love the Zen of Python and I occasionally cite one in a commit. Usually it's either flat/nested or the one about namespaces.

I have never used beautiful/ugly. I think it would be incredibly conceited to cite it at any commit or code review. I don't think it serves anything. However I would welcome a serious attempt of rewording it (I don't have any suggestions myself though).

Hi everyone,

on behalf of the moderators… please, let’s stop discussing who accused whom of what, and either stick to the discussion at hand or be silent. If you can’t make a point without aggression or name calling, then it’s not a point you should be making. (That’s a general statement about this list and this thread, not about any one particular recent e-mail.)

thanks,
