I agree that we should not drop 3.2 any time soon. My point was only that
we are not stuck with this particular change forever (like we are with the
metaclasses for example), but only as long as we support Python 3.2.
With this perspective in mind, it makes it easier to suffer this
particular annoyance,
at least for me.
