-1 on giving PEP 8 any more weight than it already has.

Automated PEP 8 checker tools do away the human commen sense component (the foolish consistency quote is in PEP 8 for a reason).

Another downside is that rigid adherence to PEP 8 tends to focus beginners on the least important aspects of code quality.  We would be much better-off with integration of PyFlakes or a similar tool that focus on actual semantic errors in the code.
