If "consensus" means "absence of sustained opposition" [1], it looks like we either weared out or intimidated the "opposition" enough for it not to be "sustained" anymore. :-) Luckily, PEP 495 solves at least one problem that has nothing to do with a choice of tzinfo: it makes the result of datetime.now() unambiguous. Also, the PEP does not take a position on what approach is better - it just makes both equally feasible. [1] https://lehors.wordpress.com/2008/08/07/what-consensus-means/
