A PEP feels like overkill; we don't require PEPs for every addition to an
existing stdlib module or package.  My worry too is that a PEP tends to evoke
endless bikeshedding.

I appreciate that you want to be careful not to saddle asyncio with too much
baggage, or that you don't feel Controller is significant enough to generalize
and put in the package.  Perhaps a middle ground would be to label parts of
the asyncio API provisional, and add Controller to that?
