Uhhh... yeah but that's true of almost every language feature, right? I love pattern matching but I think the point is that Python risks turning into a "kitchen sink" language with too many syntactical forms to keep in ones head if this continues.
Python is good enough without them that they never had to learn them.
In fact, today I'm teaching "advanced python" to someone that has been coding in python for a year.
This person didn't know about list comprehensions.
I would not worry about that.
