However, the decision was a bad one regardless of the existing policy, and sets a bad precedent while we are discussing this policy. I could be wrong, but I think it would be reasonable to assume that if Martin strongly supports such a change, Martin would oppose a policy which would strictly forbid such changes, and it is just such a policy that Python needs.

I still can't guess what policy you have in mind, so I can't object to it :-) I may accept a policy that rejects this change, but allows another change to fix the problem. I would oppose a policy that causes this bug to be unfixable forever.

Regards, Martin
