My vote would be to allow those people who have "reserved a spot" for a 
PEP before the deadline to be allowed to proceed, even if they didn't 
have an actual PEP in hand by that date. So in other words, the rule at 
this point should be "no new *topics* for 3.0".

I would also say that a real PEP should follow within a few weeks, and 
if not then I'd say go ahead and disqualify the PEP - i.e. you lose your 
"reserved" spot if you don't come up with an actual document within a 
reasonable time frame.
