Since we are here, I would bikeshed a little and point out that "initializing" and "initialiazed" are states, not phases. Either way, the nomenclature should be consistent.
States and phases are generally the same thing (e.g. states of matter vs phases of matter). I've switched back and forth between state, stage and phase at various times, though, so the PEP is currently internally inconsistent. If there are any leftover "state" and "stage" references, it's just a mistake since "phase" is the terminology I finally settled on.
