I really hope they do not do this. In and of itself it is not a problem, Ruby code is perfectly readable when the style is consistent.

Software developers are often stubborn. The main result of this change will be a mess of code which follows a mix of all the styles. That removes one of the greatest beauties of the Python ecosystem, that there is a "right way" to do things.

Agreed. I deeply love the concept of Pythonic.

The Pythonic way to do it is (very) often not my favorite way to do it. But, if I'm working in Python, I'm going to do it that way, anyway. Because social factors matter, and choosing your own convention rarely yields enough benefit to justify choosing not to follow the convention.
