-1 but not for a Good Reason - it just doesn't grab me.

I'm puzzled by this vote. I did not know that people took random votes of Python developers in advance of a PEP. To paraphrase the IETF: I don't believe in votes, just rough consensus and running code.

If we are going to vote, please keep in mind the intended meaning of votes:

+1, I endorse 0, I don't endorse -1, I veto; this proposal will get in over my dead body

Don't veto unless you feel strongly. If you veto lots of things, Guido might end up ignoring your vetos .
