At the Steering Council’s November 12th meeting, we unanimously agreed to 
reject PEPs 606 and 608:

* 606 - Python Compatibility Version
* 608 - Coordinated Python Release

It was our opinion that neither PEP will effectively improve compatibility as 
proposed.  Additionally, PEP 606 had the problem of using global state to 
request compatibility, and PEP 608 puts external projects in the critical path 
for Python releases.

We want to thank Victor Stinner and Miro Hrončok for their contributions and 
authorship of these PEPs.  I apologize for being remiss in not sending this 
email before now.  I will shortly be submitting and merging a PR to official 
reject both PEPs.

-Barry, on behalf of the Python Steering Council
