I've mostly tuned this thread out since I'm confident Guido will DTRT,
but in case I've missed something, we aren't talking about making
"true" and "false" (regardless of spelling) keywords, are we?

/me checks the PEP

Nope, and that's a very good thing, otherwise much code breakage will
ensue.

In any event, I'm sure Guido's heard all the arguments by now and has
made up his mind about this particular issue.  For my money, True and
False are just fine since they're singled objects sitting in builtins
just like None and Ellipsis.
