Why delete the information about what was found wanting? This was a mention of an alternative possible syntax. I don't feel it was worth keeping this particular one while not discussing any other alternatives at all. If you'd rather keep this information, it would be better off to have it to an "Alternative approaches" section.

It was relevant because it was the most acceptable alternative found, and we still didn't think it was an improvement over the status quo.

We don't generally significantly edit PEPs when accepting or rejecting them.

Cheers, Nick.
