Or you could argue on a procedural basis: regardless of whether the feature is good or bad, the current implementation is unacceptable, as the PEP does not correspond with the implementation, the syntax is undocumented, the code has no test cases, and so on. I'm actually going to do that, because I do think the process is unacceptable, and should be either corrected or reversed (of course, this says nothing about the feature itself, or the code implementing it).

Note that @decorators are hardly unique in not having an up-to-date PEP. Where it's different to the other cases is that they're rather controversial, and therefore it's more obvious that there's a problem.
