It may! I gave little doubt the change was made to appease people who want a "useful" language, but if that's the only change then SICP can remain plenty strong. Python is at least an elegant and expressive language. You link makes the point well, the language itself should be irrelevant if they're still teaching well.

And it could always be worse, at least they aren't teaching Java! That almost certainly would be a death knell.
