Maybe, but we have historically tended to give some extra weight to the
primary author of at least modules and packages.  If someone wanted to make
a significant change to xml.etree, I think we would give reasonably large
weight to Fredrik Lundh's opinion on the change.  If the peephole optimizer
is largely Raymond's work, why should that be treated any differently?  Is
it just because it can't practically be distributed outside of Python proper
the way ElementTree can?
