I would argue that usefulness is something to be evaluated by the
implementor.  I, for one, find inheritance exceedingly useful, also in
python ;-)

That is supposed to lead into 2.1.x, so needs at least some
replacement.

Hmm, first you state quite strongly that inheritance is not useful,
then you discourage the flattening option -- that does not fit?  MAY
means that this choice needs to be well motivated beyond the arguments
in this document (kind of).  Fine with me actually, but I think that
is not consistent.

The last sentence is repetition, removed - but the sentence before is
relevant, no?

I can see that - ok to add is as second appendix?

Makes sense.

Thanks, Andre.
