For an idea implemented in several PEPs, the obvious identifier may be taken first, but the preferred PEP for that identifier may later change. For example, PEP 354 would have the obvious keyword “enum” when it was being discussed. Then it was rejected. Later, PEP 435 was introduced, and accepted. It is now even *more* deserving of the keyword “enum” than the earlier PEP. What do you propose in cases like this? Should the keyword always refer to the same PEP it did in the past, even when that PEP is no longer as relevant given later PEPs? Or should the keyword reach a different, newer PEP if that newer PEP becomes a “more relevant” PEP for the keyword? -- \ “There are only two ways to live your life.
