So it's actually a matter of taste, and that's why PEP 8 exists, to
answer the subject's question, make decision about conventions when only
taste is in balance, am I wrong ?

Asking the question is like asking : "I don't like the convention, can I
use another one for myself ?" I think the answer is, of course, yes, but
it is highly discouraged... (and that's why PEP 8 exists after all).
