Draft updated PEP is posted at https://github.com/python/peps/pull/315 I ended up proposing a replacement PEP to supersede 394, rather than proposing changes to 394 itself. It's essentially a PEP 394 superset that allows for a few more "endorsed" configurations for redistributors (essentially saying "Arch's move was ~5 years ahead of its time"), with more of an emphasis on "What might a post-2020 sans-Python-2 platform release look like?" Structurally, it clearly separates the recommendations into 3 distinct sets (ad hoc scripting, app development, and platform publication) > Sounds good to me.

I'm not sure how you ended up receiving it, unless there's something odd going on with the configuration of linux-sig-owner in the mail server.
