Personally, I don't desire decorators for classes for symmetry reasons, I desire it to replace metaclasses, at least in those things that I could conceivably want metaclasses to do.
In some cases, what you actually want ARE metaclasses. I wouldn't say get rid of them, because I use them in cases where what I actually want ARE metaclasses, but I do concede that many of the (ab)uses of metaclasses could be replaced by decorators (assuming that the decorator syntax applied to classes as well).
