Well, it complicates the signature and implementation. If we go the same way, why stop there and not expose ODSYNC, OSYNC, ODIRECT...

I added this counter-argument to the PEP.

If you want precise control over the open() sementics, os.open() is the way to go (that's also the rationale behind io.open() opener argument, see http://bugs.python.org/issue12105)

Right.
