Oh, also, I think I've read the entire Discussions thread on this PEP, and from what I can tell, the PEP is missing champions who are eager to push it forward.
Part of the problem, I'm guessing, is that the PEP kind of sits in a weird space, because it's not up to the PyPA to "approve" it, or whatever -- PEPs are approved by the Python Steering Council.
Per Brett Cannon (Steering Council Member):
> Either consensus has to be reached (which it hasn’t) and/or someone needs to send this to the SC to make a decision (although it is a weird PEP in that it also impacts packaging, so it isn’t even clear who would get final say).
