Because the second breaks if value is a tuple:

Keeping %-formatting but breaking a large

idea to me.
Exactly. If % formatting is removed in 3k, code breaks, so we keep it.
Changing it now so that code breaks anyway is not productive :)

Thus spake the Lord: Thou shalt indent with four spaces. No more, no less.
Four shall be the number of spaces thou shalt indent, and the number of thy
indenting shall be four. Eight shalt thou not indent, nor either indent thou
two, excepting that thou then proceed to four. Tabs are right out.
