I propose a poll because I'm unable to track the opinion of each core dev, too many emails have been sent to python-dev, and maybe some people changed their mind during the long discussion (which started in February) :-)

FWIW, contrary to the many -1 responses, I don't think the actual sentiment is all torches-and-pitchforks. :) There are a variety of well-reasoned opinions that mostly result in "meh" and "I don't like the idea of it but don't know how it will actually work out" (or maybe I'm just projecting myself onto everyone else). This is the point where I have a lot of respect for Guido's uncanny intuition as reflected in Python's history.
