Just one short comment of your ( well written ) rationale and PEP. Ruby might be hyped at the moment but at least in the german labour market and the biggest german freelancer mediation Ruby is quite inexistent. Even when the nerdish blogosphere is setting different priorities SAP and Intel made million $ investments in Zend Corp. and PHP but not in RoR. The slashdot sociology is not all important.
If its just about rhetorical battles, hype and popularity Pythonistas would do a better service for themselves not to change Pythons object model but write a J2EE-like spec, standardize it and provide a reference implementation ( "THE agile alternative!... ").
