@tacaswell Gentle ping

@carljm This PR was closed because the deprecation would impact too many users. What about the following variation? Add a kwarg with values `False`, `True` and `None`. * Value `True`...

PR looks good to me. The status is awaiting merge. I guess @ethanfurman will have to do that.

I have made the requested changes; please review again

@tiran Would you be able to continue the review? If not, I will try to find another core dev to review.

I have made the requested changes; please review again. If there are any more changes required for PEP7, let me know

@erlend-aasland Will you be able to continue reviewing the PR?
