Barry Warsaw and I, the PEP editors, have been discussing the need for a new PEP type lately. Martin von Löwis' PEP 347 was a prime example of a PEP that didn't fit into the existing Standards Track and Informational categories. We agreed upon a new "Process" PEP type. For more information, please see PEP 1 (http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0001.html) -- the type of which has also been changed to Process. Other good examples of Process PEPs are the release schedule PEPs, and I understand there may be a new one soon.
