However much corporate policies and educators may deprecate widely
adopted coding practices, complaining about them will get you
disliked, and nothing else.
I could say the same thing about people who make disparaging comments in
mailing lists.
My point was that importing "everything" into the global namespace and
then finding that a new version of Python has a new global symbol that
causes a symbol conflict in your code is not a reason to reject the
change. If you use a problematic practice and a change to Python causes
a symbol conflict for you, that's on you, not Python.
