Hi everyone,

I would like to repeal PEP 509. We don't really have a process for
repealing a PEP. Presumably I would just write another PEP.

Yeah, it's probably a new PEP explaining why the first PEP turned out to not work out since it's undoing a "big" decision. Otherwise it's like withdrawing the PEP post-acceptance.

Before I do so, I would like to know if anyone thinks we should keep
PEP 509.

The dictionary version number is currently unused in CPython and just
wastes memory. I am not claiming that we will never need it, just that
we shouldn't be required to have it. It should be an internal
implementation detail that we can add or remove depending on requirements.

Thoughts?

Cheers,
Mark.
