Not according to the PEP. No fewer than 16 alternatives were put to a vote, and with no clear winner (but many obvious losers) Guido made the final decision.
As I remember, the decision made on the basis of the vote was *not* to add a conditional expression at all, because of the fact that there was no clear winner. It was some time later that Guido suddenly announced out of the blue that he was accepting one of the choices that he had earlier said he didn't like!
