Sorry for the confusion. I am FOR the functionality, because the code 
I've written & maintained has
needed it.

Although I like simplicity and thus empathize with Guido's desire to 
simplify via YAGNI
("Done is better than perfect, simple is better than creative"), I 
believe failure to provide the
functionality provides only a small simplification but will result in 
too many distinct
reimplementations of the functionality and/or too much cluttered logging.
