I'm just curious as to why there are 54 open issues after both of
these PEPs have been accepted and 384 is listed as finished.  Did
 we hit some unforeseen technical problem which stalled development?

I tried to bring some sanity to that effort by opening a "meta issue":

http://bugs.python.org/issue15787

My enthusiasm, however, vanished after I reviewed the refactoring for the 
datetime module:

http://bugs.python.org/issue15390

My main objections are to following PEP 384 
<http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0384/> (Stable ABI) within stdlib
modules.  I see little benefit for the stdlib (which is shipped fresh with 
every new version of Python) from following
those guidelines.

If we aren't going to implement the changes (and I agree there's little value for the stdlib to do so), let's mark the issues as "won't fix" and close them.

And thanks, Mark, for bringing it up.
