Right. The Rails people have rather hyped the stuffing out of that, and 
now at least DHH is getting some backlash against his opinionatedness.

Luckily in the Python world we've had a design principle for many years 
that fits quite nicely here:

"There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it."

Let's use this one instead of the word "opinionated".
