    While doing a review of http://bugs.python.org/review/26129/ I
    asked to have curly braces put around all `if` statement bodies.
    Serhiy pointed out that PEP 7 says curly braces are optional:
    https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0007/#id5. I would like to
    change that.

    My argument is to require them to prevent bugs like the one Apple
    made with OpenSSL about two years ago:
    https://www.imperialviolet.org/2014/02/22/applebug.html. Skipping
    the curly braces is purely an aesthetic thing while leaving them
    out can lead to actual bugs.

    Anyone object if I update PEP 7 to remove the optionality of curly
    braces in PEP 7?

I guess you forgot to count Barry and me as +1s.
