In my opinion using Ellipsis is just wrong.  It is completely non-obvious not only to a beginner, but even to an experienced python developer.  Writing 'raise Something() from None' looks less suspicious, but still strange.

Beginners will never even see it (unless they're printing out cause explicitly for some unknown reason). Experienced devs can go read language reference or PEP 409 for the rationale (that's one of the reasons we have a PEP process).

Cheers, Nick.
