I agree. I think we should change the status of PEP 291 to Final, and add a few words to make it clear it applies only to Python 2. Since Neal owns the PEP, he should get first crack at doing the update, but I volunteer to make those changes if he declines (or does not respond). We may eventually need a similar document for Python 3, but it should be a new PEP. -Barry
