I'm just beginning to review these PEPs and the threads, with an OS vendor packager's eye. Let me start with one small suggestion for PEP 425. From the FAQ: Q. Who will maintain the registry of abbreviated implementations? A. New two-letter abbreviations can be requested on the python-dev mailing list. As a rule of thumb, abbreviations are reserved for the current 4 most prominent implementations. I think the PEP should explicitly say that it will be the definitive keeper of the abbreviations. The request can be made on python-dev, and once approved, PEP 425 will be updated with the new abbreviation. Cheers, -Barry
