For me, yes.  I use it all the time.  The only time I use 
explicit-target upcalls is in __init__ methods, and there usually 
only to skip a subclass' init or to explicitly manage a tricky bit of 
multiple inheritance.

(Note, by the way, that you cannot safely write an upcall in a mixin 
class without super, so it can't safely be done away with, anyway.)
