Hello folks,<br>
<br>
A couple days ago Nathaniel pushed significant changes to his governance<br>
PEP (PEP 8016). This means some governance PEPs are apparently still<br>
*not* finalized. This raises a problem: when can we consider that we<br>
are reading the final version of a proposal (barring wording fixes or<br>
improvements), not some work in progress draft?<br>
<br>
Not everyone keeps an eye daily on PEP changes and discussions. It<br>
would be nice to be able to make one's mind at an idle pace. But that<br>
requires that PEP authors don't make last-minute changes in an attempt<br>
to gather more support.<br>
<br>
In my vote, I may have to devaluate those proposals that keep changing<br>
in the last days before the vote, because it doesn't sound like the<br>
author can be trusted to propose a stable model.<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
<br>
Antoine.<br>
