OK. We can agree to disagree. My point was that as far as I am aware, Guido's current position on ABCs is that they are, and will remain, optional - people like myself (and Greg, from the sound of it) who don't want to derive from ABCs will not be penalised by being excluded from anything in the Python core or the stdlib. Example - I recall Guido saying explicitly that there will be no requirement for objects assigned to sys.stdout to derive from any of the IO ABCs.
