Maybe remove the bit (of my text) that you crossed out, or removed the strikethrough and qualify? At the moment it's confusing, because I believe what I wrote is correct, so leaving in there and crossed out looks kinda weird.
Eh, it's a little weird because there's no specification needed really, we can implement it any time we want to. It was stalled for a long time because I ran into arcane technical problems dealing with the MacOS linker, but that's solved and now it's just stalled due to lack of attention.
I deleted the text but feel free to qualify further if you think it's useful.
Are you saying that we should consider this specification approved already? Or that we should go ahead without waiting for approval? I guess the latter. I guess you're saying you think there would be no bad consequences for doing this if the spec subsequently changed before being approved? It might be worth adding something like that to the text, in case there's somebody who wants to do some work on that.
It's not a PEP. It will never be approved because there is no-one to approve it :-).
Sure, but it is a pull-request, it hasn't been merged - so I assume that someone is expecting to make or receive more feedback on it.
The only reason for writing it as a spec is to potentially help coordinate with others who want to get in on making these kinds of packages themselves, and the main motivator for that will be if one of us starts doing it and proves it works...
If I had to guess, I'd guess that you are saying Yes to "no bad consequences" (above)? Would you mind adding something about that in the text to make it clear? Cheers, Matthew
