since I found myself writing "if name == 'main'" often these days, I wondered whether PEP 299 could be pronounced upon. I'm not proposing putting it into 2.5, but it should be relatively small a change.

If you're asking for a quick pronouncement, it's going to be "no". It's not worth the change (in docs, user habits, etc.) and there's nothing particularly broken.
