"Give up" makes it sound like I got tired of arguing without being convinced rather than admitting I was just plain wrong.

I thought it was something in between (you explicitly said "lenient PEP 460" doesn't hurt you, but my understanding was you still believe that there's a safer way, and it's the latter you aren't going to try to convince folks of).

While I'll still work on the asciistr proposal,

Thank you for that. I really wish I had time to, myself, but not for several weeks... :-(

that's unrelated to PEP 460 - it's about making hybrid APIs less

"It" refers to asciistr or to PEP 460?

painful to write in Python 3 when you're willing to place the burden of ensuring ASCII compatibility of binary data on the calling code.

Versus what?
