I agree this should be discussed, which is why I created this issue about it, 
as place for that discussion to take place. This is also being discussed on 
python-dev.

The examples I've mentioned are both rather new, and they have implemented 
sentinel values using three different methods, with those in dataclasses even 
being inconsistent among themselves. I fail to see how this can be considered 
"chang[ing] a long standing Python idiom that has stood the test of time".

I find this wording makes things unnecessarily personal and negative. Let's 
discuss things based on technical merit.
