I don't understand what do you expect from replacing the eventlet event loop with asyncio event loop. It's basically the same.

The purpose of replacing eventlet with asyncio is to get a well defined control flow, no more surprising task switching at random points.

You may read the report of Guido van Rossum's keynote at Pycon 2013, he explains probably better than me how asyncio is different from other asynchronous frameworks:
