This is an "omnibus" PEP, meaning it proposes many unrelated changes. In order to get a consensus to pass the PEP, it may be necessary to compromise. IOW I would recommend removing modules from the PEP that bring up strong opposition, *even* if you yourself feel strongly that those modules should be removed. The vast majority of modules on the list hasn't elicited any kind of feedback at all -- those are clearly safe to remove (many people are probably, like myself, hard-pressed to remember what they do). I'm not saying drop anything from the list that elicits any pushback, but once the debate has gone back and forth twice, it may be a hint that a module still has fans. Threatening to open a CVE is more likely to reduce support for the PEP than it is to convince anyone. -- --Guido van Rossum (python.org/~guido) *Pronouns: he/him/his **(why is my pronoun here?)* <http://feministing.com/2015/02/03/how-using-they-as-a-singular-pronoun-can-change-the-world/>
