How would a PEP to remove this feature fare today?

Not well, I hope, although I suppose everything's up for debate in Py3K.

Yes, they're rarely used and there is an alternative, but I do find them useful and succinct when they're needed. Also, I don't think they're really much of a burden on newbies because mostly, they just don't encounter them or need to know about them.
