[Distutils]Provisional PEPs can now actually be marked as Provisional
Hi folks, Some time ago, we adjusted the distutils-sig PEP approval process to include a "Provisional" status, where we approved changes for inclusion in the reference implementations (typically pip and setuptools), but still reserved the right to make adjustments if practical experience showed that we'd missed something critical. Earlier today, I merged the amendment to PEP 1 that makes that part of the Python Enhancement Proposal process in general, and explicitly marked the affected PEPs as Provisional. For distutils-sig, that update affects both of the pyproject.toml PEPs (although I expect PEP 518 isn't too far off being marked as Final - the question of the precise meaning of a missing build-system table when pyproject.toml is present seems to be the only underspecified point that anyone has found during the Provisional period).

Should we be marking PEP 517 as provisional?
