Okay, I've been convinced that keeping the dynamic path feature is a good idea. I am really looking forward to seeing the rationale added to the PEP -- that's pretty much the last thing on my list that made me hesitate. I'll leave the details of exactly how the parent path is referenced up to the implementation team (several good points were made), as long as the restriction that sys.path must be modified in place is lifted.
