It is all political at this point. Python is run by representatives of big corporations, some of whom haven't really done anything in the past 10 years but are who great at promoting their personal brands.

They are trying to strengthen corporate influence and discourage any power of traditional independent open source developers (who have contributed most of the useful features as opposed to corporate churn).

We do not know what is going on in the background, it is proxy wars all over the place. It is possible that they want to reduce Facebook influence, that their code bases do not need this feature, etc.

Just use C++.
