Good point. This paragraph should be changed, if it wasn't yet.

Now changed in CVS.

Every tool which deals with Python's syntax must be adapted to the new syntax, no matter which new syntax is adopted.

I expect many tools won't be affected by @decorations. Import checkers and function/method identifying tools probably won't care about the decorations.
In the end, it very much depends on the assumptions of the tool and how it implements scanning and parsing.
