Because All has generated as much disagreement as Some did initially, All is definitely a poor name.

It goes beyond that. I don't think that you can convince me that this is a useful feature under any name (since you insist that it be different from Infinity).

You can revise the PEP all you will, but I think you are wasting your time. The feature is not a good addition to Python. If you want more reasons, consider all of the negative feedback you've received so far.
