<p>Hum, why not, although people having a system predating this change (which is exactly 2 years old apparently) will suffer from this, while more recent systems are likely to provide compatibility for a while, given how widespread use of the <code>pep8</code> tool is. For example, my Debian system has a link from <code>pep8</code> to <code>pycodestyle</code> which makes this a non-issue there ATM.</p>
<p>So… I don't feel strongly either way, but it probably makes sense to merge this <em>at some point</em>, but I don't know if now's the time?</p>
