I have a proposal for an Informational PEP that lists things which will

Thoughts?

Excellent idea, I was going to ask about such list during my own attempts

here.

And my first though is about "will not change". Like: never ever change or

like: will not change in 10 years or 20 years.

And on this occassion, I'd look forward to some alternative
informal proposals repository.

For example something like "futuristic corner" for some

unusual topics but potentially useful for future development.

Now there is "informational PEP" section, but not very clear if it is more

informal than normal PEPs or how would one go with
merely marginal topics, including those things, which

will most obviously not change.

And probably your idea is exactly against this attitude, hard to say.
