I think that a courtesy message to python-dev is appropriate, with a link to the PEP and an invitation to discuss its merits on datetime-sig.
Per Gudo's advise, this is an invitation to join PEP 495 discussion on Datetime-SIG. I you would like to catch-up on the SIG discussion, the archive of this thread starts at <https://mail.python.org/pipermail/datetime-sig/2015-August/000253.html>. The PEP itself can be found at <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0495>, but if you would like to follow draft updates as they happen, you can do it on Github at <https://github.com/abalkin/ltdf>. Even though the PEP is deliberately minimal in scope, there are still a few issues to be ironed out including how to call the disambiguation flag. It is agreed that the name should not refer to DST and should distinguish between two ambiguous times by their chronological order. The working name is "first", but no one particularly likes it including the author of the PEP. Some candidates are discussed in the PEP at <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0495/#questions-and-answers>, and some more have been suggested that I will add soon. Please direct your responses to <datetime-sig@python.org>.
