That's not how PEPs work :-). Someone has to do the work of collating
contradictory feedback and making opinionated design proposals, and
the person who does that is called the PEP author.

In this case, I'd also suggest framing the PEP as a list of specific
things that should be added to pathlib.Path, with justifications for
each. If your argument is "X should be in pathlib because it's in some
other module", then that's not very compelling -- by definition it
already means we have an X, so why do we need another? I think for a
number of these cases there actually is a good answer to that
question, but your PEP has to actually provide that answer :-).
