They don't accept it even more than they don't understand it. This
leads to repeated guesses that the object model might perhaps change in 
Py3K with respect to explicit self [1]. It's not all just an educational 
issue. If this is not a severe case where an autoritarian decision 
should be made and also be made visible at a central and recoverable 
place I don't know what?
