It has some. That's why GvR had me bring it to python-dev so you guys could help decide on the proper balance. But for that one thought, the decision to apply is clear cut.

There is no proper balance. If you believe in the policy "no new features", this policy is absolute - it would be pointless to accept some new features, but reject others on grounds of the policy.

This policy is mutually exclusive with "new features are fine as long as they don't break anything". You can get opinions, but you cannot get consensus.
