Exception raising style adjustments?


Now that our dear BDFL has expressed the opinion that exceptions raising
of the form:

  raise FooException, "Bar"

is definitely passé and so 20th century[1], and now that the holy writ of
PEP 8[2] has been updated to reflect the current view that all exception
raising incantations should be expressed as:

  raise FooException("Bar")

would people object if I convert such expressions in violation of this
view to the One True Way? (At least in src/zope as much such mistakes in
other code may be blamed on infidels more easily).

All not in favour, please keep mum unless a good reason not to be flogged
for blasphemy is brought henceforth immediatly.

Your loyal priest of the styleguides,

Martijn Pieters
