Ned Deily <n...@python.org> added the comment:

Several of the core developers here at the PyCon US sprints in Cleveland have 
discussed this issue.  It seems like there legitimate arguments for either 
behavior.  But, while none of us are argparse experts, we all were persuaded by 
Wolfgang's and Brian's arguments that preserving compatibility with 3.6 (and 
recent earlier 3.x releases) should be given more weight than attempting to 
restore 2.7 behavior at this point.  We specifically did not get into the finer 
points of argparse behavior and any other proposed argparse change.

Unless someone comes up with a more persuasive argument, I intend to merge this 
change for 3.7.0rc1 in a few days.
