Is there any outline to mark it as deprecated in docs and the code
somewhere between 2.x and 3.0? I know that this is _distant future_,
but we can think about it and maybe vote. I'm on Guido's side not
because I don't like it, but because I think that Python doesn't need
two 'not equal' operators. It reminds me about ruby and its methods
for built-in classes which are doubled in some cases. This is nothing more
than a pollution.
