If you don't like the recommendation, just don't follow it. It's not like it's set in stone or anything. Personally, I like it and I'm glad it's used on the projects I work on. But you do what suits you. As it's unlikely that the stdlib will stop using caps for constants, changing PEP 8 isn't appropriate (see the first line of the PEP - "This document gives coding conventions for the Python code comprising the standard library in the main Python distribution").
