This attitude is part of the problem: not following PEP8 does not make
code "substandard". PEP8 was never meant to be an authoritative metric
of 'good'. Its a set of guidelines that are subject to change over time
(this isn't even KINDA the first change!) and represent the core devs
taste and particular needs, and it goes out of its way to say that it is
only a suggestion and other concerns (especially local consistency)
override its advice.
