In-depth feedback contributes more to the topic, but without those +1/-1s, it's harder to assess if the idea has gained enough traction to justify turning it into a PEP (or simply implementing a feature). Sorry if that adds to the volume of messages to sort through, but that's just simply how python-ideas works. FWIW, I'm personally against the proposal because it's trivial to look up the PEP to figure out those additional details, which you would likely have to do anyways if you weren't familiar with that PEP. It's not worth a significant change in convention that would require a significant mental shift from practically the entire Python community. It would require a conscious effort to check if the PEP was accepted prior to deciding whether to use "PEP" or "PAP", as well as the initial learning to figure out "WTF is a PAP?". For an individual it would be a small cost, but if you were to consider that small cost replicated for all of the millions of Python users and thousands of reference materials that would need to be updated to address "PAP", it doesn't seem worth the marginal at best benefit.
