At best, you'll need to carefully ensure that the event loop and task implementations are themselves reentrancy-safe (including the C accelerators and third parties like uvloop?), and then it just invites subtle issues in the applications built on top of it. I don't think there's a good reason to allow or support this (and nest_asyncio should be heavily discouraged). I do, however, think that PBP is a good enough reason to allow opt-in use of multiple event loops nested inside each other (maybe something on the EventLoopPolicy for configuration?). -Ben
