They don't need to be any better than that - the anti-PEP0238 opinion
does not represent a serious code-breaking change, whereas the
pro-PEP0238 position does. All we need is to prove we have a valid
opinion - code-breaks, especially on this scale and relating to
fundamental arithmetic operations, should not be done on the basis of
a clearly debatable matter of opinion.
