Mutating PEP8 is bad form. We fight mercilessly over source code
backwards compatibility so I think PEPs should be taken just as
seriously in that regard.
There's no comparison between the two.
If you change your library's API -- not "source code", it doesn't matter
if the source code changes so long as the interface remains backwards
compatible -- then you will break other people's code.
If we change PEP 8, then all that will happen is that some people's
coding style will no longer be exactly compatible with PEP 8. Their code
will continue to work.
