The permissiveness makes it less painful to upgrade to new versions of 
Python.  True and False only recently got assigned conventional 
values, but you can still import old modules without worrying whether 
they might violate the new rule; if True and False once meant 
something special to them, it will still mean the same thing.

Meanwhile new code can follow the new conventions.
