Eh, while I sympathize with what you’re saying, PEPs get written and rejected all the time. I’ve gotten the impression that some were written for the main goal of documenting the reasons why a common request is a bad idea.

Like, I don’t know if there’s a PEP to use braces, but it wouldn’t surprise me if someone had made one so that from then on there’d be an official doc you could point people at when they ask about it.

Not saying this is one of those, and I see Brett Cannon’s on this one. I am saying not to get too worked up over the existence of a draft PEP.

PEP 666 was supposedly written to be rejected so as to document the community stance on indentation.

The rejection of braces isn't in a PEP to my knowledge; it's only in the __future__ Easter egg.
