I'm leaning towards the people that oppose addition of this feature to older Python releases. In particular, the objection that the new PEP is worthless for a long time to come, is in itself not really relevant: It is always the case that features proposed by a PEP reach users only years after they have been implemented. > What users want isn't rationale in and of itself but I think it's > an important data point, especially given how long 2.7.LASTEVER is > going to be relevant to end users. Well, I really really don't like this idea. 2.7 should not get new features; users who want new features need to switch to 3.x.
