Python was never lean nor modern. It was a still-born language, intended more like a toy / joke, if you want to give credit to its author. It's very aspirational to claim that there's some process that involves intelligent thought that decides what features should be added or removed from the language. From where I stand, a petri dish has more intelligence than all Python core devs combined.
