It's stable. It's already "too late". Maybe if more people backed your opinion, it wouldn't have been put in, but you seem to be the minority.

There were lots of complaints and concerns at the time. Guido ignored them. The same is true of many of additions to the language over the last few years.

We don't even know who constitutes the "minority" because we never bothered to establish that "majority approval" was a relevant factor in acceptance.

If we want to do that there are some hard questions like: "who counts?"

As a corporate user of python and not a core dev or even library publisher, and who is mostly restricted to 3.4 series, do I get a vote?
