The scoping rules are, IMHO, the most serious problem listed on the
Python Warts page, and adding nested scopes fixes them.  So it's nice
that this flaw could be cleaned up, though people will naturally
differ in their perceptions of how serious the problem is, and how
much pain it's worth to fix it.

I've previously stated my intention to unsubscribe from python-dev
after 2.1 ships, mostly because hacking on the Python core has ceased
to be fun any more, and because my non-core projects have suffered.
Once that happens, the incentive to try out new Python versions will
really ebb; if I wasn't on python-dev, I don't think upgrading to 2.1
would be a big priority because none of its new features solve any
burning problems for me.  It's hard to say what compelling new
features would make me enthuastically adopt 2.2 as soon as it comes
out, and I can't really think of any -- perhaps interfaces would be
such a feature.  You can take that as lukewarm agreement with
Fredrik's rhetorical suggestion.
