DIPs are not voted on. The decision to accept or reject rests 
with Walter & Andrei. The place to discuss DIP features is in the 
preliminary reviews. DIP 1009 had two prelim rounds. The feedback 
phase of the formal review is for final remarks from the 
community (but not discussion or debate), so the current DIP 1009 
thread is the place to leave any thoughts you'd like Walter & 
Andrei to consider, particularly if you missed the prelims.

That said, this DIP doesn't deprecate the existing syntax. The 
new syntax is intended to be lowered to it.
