It's more a matter of the PEP being acceptable in principle, but a reference implementation being needed to confirm feasibility and to iron out corner cases. For example, the potential for arcane call arguments suggests the need for a PEP 8 addition saying "first standalone args, then iterable expansions, then mapping expansions", even though syntactically any order would now be permitted at call time.
