I've heard back off-list from the folks I was waiting to hear from, and I'm very
happy to say that I'm provisionally accepting PEP 517, as defined in
https://www.pypa.io/en/latest/specifications/#provisional-acceptance

That means folks are now free to go start updating the reference
tooling based on the PEP, but for the time being, we reserve the right
to make further changes to the specification based on our real world
experience with those initial implementations.

Thank you Thomas and Nathanial for your persistence in working through
all the feedback received on the proposal, and thus enabling a
significant step forward for the overall Python packaging ecosystem :)

Cheers,
Nick.
