My thoughts are not the roadmap, of course :)
I asked about methods because we should aware of the consequences when choosing between PEP 580 and PEP 590 (or some compromise). There are basically 3 different ways of dealing with bound methods:
(A) put methods inside the protocol. This is PEP 580 and my 580/590 compromise proposal. The disadvantage here is complexity in the protocol.
(B) don't put methods inside the protocol and use a single generic method class types.MethodType. This is the status-quo for Python functions. It has the disadvantage of being slightly slower: there is an additional level of indirection when calling a bound method object.
(C) don't put methods inside the protocol but use multiple method classes, one for every function class. This is the status-quo for functions implemented in C. This has the disadvantage of code duplication.
I think that the choice between PEP 580 or 590 should be done together with a choice of one of the above options. For example, I really don't like the code duplication of (C), so I would prefer PEP 590 with (B) over PEP 590 with (C).
