> Well, post it to python-dev and see what reaction you get :)

I'm not interested in python-dev reactions here. For this
kind of issue, we'll have hundreds of messages for and against
the change without any useful content.

The commit adds an often-requested feature (to the point that many
people were already taking the pain of activating it manually).
But, yes, we could add Steven's refinement so that all bases are
covered.
