If I were in charge of Python, I'd probably feature-freeze it. It is already too large, but shrinking it is impractical. Failing that, because it probably would fail, I would be raising the bar sky-high on new feature additions. It seems like the project has actually lowered the bar in the last few versions. What was once one of my favorite languages, if not my favorite, is now a language I try to avoid, and approaching one I actively recommend against. When I'm writing it myself it's ok, but using other people's code in it is getting harder and harder, as they keep using all the features.
