What is holding back Decorators ?

[Andrea Giammarchi]

FWIW I agree @dec export is a huge nonsense and it looks from the outside
decorators are stuck due features creep ... it's like not releasing classes
at all until all other PL gotchas and features are solved, which is not
what happened in 2015.

Yet curious to see progress on what's being promoted as the universal
solution to pretty much everything these days.
