Please note the DIP also says:

"This DIP presumes the acceptance of DIP 1030: Named Arguments."

And in an effort to preempt comments like your, I explicitly left 
this note in the feedback thread:

"Please note that acceptance of this DIP is dependent upon 
acceptance of DIP 1030. If that DIP is rejected, this DIP will 
move into "Postponed" for an extended period to allow time for 
alternative named argument proposals."

I should have left it here, too :-)

Anyway, 1030 is likely to be accepted, but it isn't a given. 
Walter has pulled two of his DIPs in the past in response to 
community feedback, so please don't think any his DIPs is a 
rubber stamp. However, if it *is* accepted, then it saves time if 
we have both DIPs going through the review process close 
together. That's all this is.
