Note that the PEP specifically applies to "syntax, semantics, and
built-ins". Here's the full abstract [1]:
This PEP proposes a temporary moratorium (suspension) of all changes to the
Python language syntax, semantics, and built-ins for a period of
at least two
years from the release of Python 3.1. In particular, the moratorium would
include Python 3.2 (to be released 18-24 months after 3.1) but allow Python
3.3 (assuming it is not released prematurely) to once again include language
changes.
This suspension of features is designed to allow non-CPython implementations
to "catch up" to the core implementation of the language, help ease adoption
of Python 3.x, and provide a more stable base for the community.
