Eh, python breaks backwards compatibility between versions all the time. And I don't know if "it's used by codegolfers" is a legitimate reason to keep a language feature. That said, I have a really hard time imagining this issue coming up in regular usage of the language so I don't really have much of an opinion should they choose to keep or drop it.
