Amen. The point is that finding an easy upgrade path for current code
using __del__ does not look easy at all. Maybe we should be bold,
remove __del__ in Py3K, say to everybody to use 'with', and force
people to rewrite their code, ignoring the complaints from the
big frameworks guys (anyway, they are already complaining ;)
