I'd vote for a different perspective on path handling. For me the
pathlib is not the
good way to go. Especially with copying ill behaviour of old os.path functions.

We definitely need a "task force page" dedicated to "working with paths in
Python" to collaborate. ML + PEP with privileged write access is ineffective.

While I like the problem decomposition what I see in pathlib, I don't think it
supports the greatest power of Python that it allows you not to think about
cross-platform differences -

I've got the impression that while using pathlib you should care about those.

I am +1 for iterating few more times to research best compromise between the
most simple possible and most user friendly interface (wart-free). But every
iteration should be historically accessible like in blog report, not like in
Mercurial PEP diff. There is still problem to dedicate time though.
