As far as I can see, the only practical difference it will make is that it will cut short some (but not all) threads on python-ideas and comp.lang.python: anyone who suggests a language change will be told "Moratorium. Come back in 2013."
It would be a shame to discourage new ideas just because we are not willing to implement them "now". I hope that any moratorium would not cut discussions of new ideas short, would not change the tone of python-ideas, and would not discourage writing PEP's for new language features (with the understanding that it will be a while before they actually get implemented).
