Not such a large outcry, but lots of us were concerned about "having to look inside the function for 'yield' to determine if it were a generator or a function" and were calling for a 'gen' or 'generator' keyword.
Strangely enough, exactly the *opposite* argument is now being used to prevent syntaxes such as:
def func (args):
@decorator
as was used then to allow:
def func (args):
yield value
