Not necessarily. If it serves a useful purpose, let it stand and
evolve as it will.

The point is, PEP 374 ought to reflect the process that led to the
current decision. If the wiki page evolves, it will be a different and
*not applicable* to the 2009 Python DVCS decision.

I say let the wiki stand, and time will tell.  We ought to add
cross-references to both PEP & wiki though.

I don't understand why we're still debating this. Several people want
PEP 374 to remain as it was. Dirkjan has agreed to add a new PEP.
There's room for the wiki page too (no shortage of space; the internet
is effectively infinite). Everybody should be happy.
