Then simply reject the PEP and the discussion can be stopped on comp.lang.python too. Only in the most severe cases does it make sense to create a PEP specifically to be rejected. Or why do you think it should be discussed there again and again or elsewhere on the web ( e.g. in Bruce Eckels blog on Artima )? Perhaps because people don't understand it?

They don't accept it even more than they don't understand it. This leads to repeated guesses that the object model might perhaps change in Py3K with respect to explicit self [1]. It's not all just an educational issue. If this is not a severe case where an autoritarian decision should be made and also be made visible at a central and recoverable place I don't know what?
