Well, he did not repost a rebuttal (at least none that I saw, and I've
been watching carefully; Google doesn't have anything either), so I have
no way of knowing what his intended meaning was.  I know at least one
other person that also culled this interpretation from his response, as
well, so if the lack of clarity is on the reader's side, it is not
simply me being hostile.

I'm not sure how a "presumption of goodwill" changes the meaning of his
statement, "I believe it's an alternative; if you refuse to list it,
you've got a guaranteed -1 from me."  Indeed, the case is explicitly
mentioned in the updated PEP and summarily rejected; my list has no
whiff of authority, and I'm not the one who rejected it, the BDFL did.
