-0 At first blush, this seems reasonable. Like removing docstrings, it would make the bytecode more compact.  That said, annotations can be used for more things than typing (they predate typing and could be used for anything). It's unclear whether stripping them might break published modules that rely on the annotations being present.

Leaving this feature request open so that it can gather more comments from the other devs.
