Hi Nathaniel, Philosophy of Science 101: nobody knows what TheBestSolution is and nobody ever will.
That said, when we decided to submit PEP 654, that was a point in time when we came to believe that we found the right solution. We made significant changes later following feedback we agreed with, but in the case of "flat EG" I see several disadvantages and don't quite understand what the win is. I appreciate the invitation, but I don't want to work on that idea (nor am I the right person to push it forward). However, I think it's fantastic if you and others do pursue alternative options (independently of my biases). You will either find something better or validate PEP 654, and in either case the world wins. Feel free to adapt our implementation if that helps. You have a year before we have our next chance to commit to PEP 654.
