Nobody will try to sort out the votes from the well over 600 postings (and growing).

Ouch. And it's only Sunday morning here. That exceeds my wildest expectations.

Is anybody at least collecting useful feedback? I'm willing to update the PEP to at least mention sensible alternatives or arguments pro and con, but I can't read the c.l.py messages.

No doubt, the real motiviation was to boost python's popularity so that it wins the 'february' comparisons of language newsgroup activities.

I didn't even know there was such a comparison. Seems pretty silly to me. :-)
