Hi all, It seems like discussion on PEP 615 has mostly petered off. The last remaining unresolved issue didn't get any comments, which was whether the module should be called "zoneinfo" or put somewhere in the "datetime" hierarchy, so I've gone ahead and moved that into "rejected ideas" in this PR <https://github.com/python/peps/pull/1347>.
I have been sort of hoping to get this accepted either between Sunday, April 5th - specifically between 2 AM and 4AM or 13:00 and 17:30 UTC - since those times represent ambiguous or imaginary times somewhere on earth (mostly in Australia/New Zealand/Pacific Islands), so I am planning on submitting this to the steering council as soon as possible and hoping that I've given them enough notice to look at it. If anyone else was planning on commenting, please do head over to the discourse ASAP. Thanks!
