Too late for that, PEPs are closed.

That's how the Java designers were thinking as well: If MI is allowed,
programmers will suddenly get an irresistible urge to use MI to write
unmaintainable spaghetti code. So let's disallow MI for the sake of
common good. Fortunately, Python is not designed to be fool proof
against fools. If you cannot use MI properly, then don't use that.
