Yes, that was my thought. Have the PEP author include a summary of the
major objections, and their defense to those objections. (The presence

In my humble opinion, this doesn't warrant the creation of a new structure, but
rather a restructuring of PEPs.
As mentioned by others, we have a "Rejected Ideas" section already, but that
seems to somewhat miss the point. It captures only the arguments that have won,
arguments moved against sp

Mark, I support your idea. It is natural for PEP authors to not fully
articulate the voices of opposition or counter-proposals.

Perhaps there could be guidance, in documentation (and if appropriate
from the PEP-Delegate or the Steering Council), that the PEP proponent
collaborate with a leading opponent, critic, and/or u

In my experience, different people keep proposing the same idea until
it's recorded in the PEP. The PEP doesn't have to address all remarks
or take in account all ideas, but it's good to record the most common
proposed ideas. The important part is to show that other people's
opinions have been hear

Hi,
I'd like to propose the "Anti-PEP".
As I'm sure you've all noticed, contentious PEPs like 572, and now 622,

A natural question that arises is who will be responsible for authoring it?
I'd guess anyone with a strong enough opinion (and there's no shortage of
