I already sent a mail to D'Aprano and he said (please Steven correct me if I am wrong) that basically PEP-472 as is is not acceptable (and I agree) without modifications. But in my opinion the argument is circular. Who is willing to sponsor a PEP that doesn't exist yet? it's like putting a signature on a blank piece of paper.
So the question is: is a core developer willing to sponsor the _idea_ (not the PEP, as it doesn't exist yet)?
