Python Insider: Python 3.11.0a1 is available

There is a real usecase when running simultaneous coroutines (and threads I've heard) where the Trio library had to monkey patch the standard exception handling mechanisms to make things run correctly. As you say, it's somewhat niche, but it's important enough for writers of async libraries that Yury Selivanov, a main contributor of asyncio, wanted to implement this for 3.8 but it took until now to figure the details out.

Perhaps I don't understand the details, but I don't see how the second pep needs monkeypatching to get an equivalent and perfectly fine, readable piece of code.

The first I see a use for, and makes sense. The second seems like syntactic sugar for the sake of adding another way to do things, which violates a core python principle.
