When the reasons for and against something are equally weak, the status quo
has to win by default. Anything else leads to change for change's sake (for
example, compare the accepted PEP 352 to its far more ambitious predecessor
PEP 348).
I've been on both sides of this situation (being for or against various
changes), and 'status quo wins a stalemate' is the only way to avoid endless
subjective arguments. I believe Guido was merely pointing out that this
discussion had already reached that point :)
Cheers,
Nick.
