A lot of the sting went out of that objection when field autonumbering
was added to new-style formatting ("'%s' % (obj,)" vs
"'{}'.format(obj)" as the minimal case that correctly handles tuples).
The addition of format_map() reduces it even further.

I agree with that part though, just for historical reasons rather than
seeing much in the way in the way of inherent advantages with %-style
formatting.
Cheers,
Nick.
