 Once the PEP is ready for the repository, the PEP editor will:
 
-* Assign a PEP number (almost always just the next available *lowest*
-  number, but sometimes it's a special/joke number, like 666 or 3141).
+* Assign a PEP number (almost always just the next available number,
+  but sometimes it's a special/joke number, like 666 or 3141).
+  (Clarification: For Python 3, we used numbers in the 3000s for
+  Py3k-specific proposals.  But now that all new features go into
+  Python 3 only, we're back to using numbers in the 100s again.
+  Remember that numbers below 100 are meta-PEPs.)
 
 * List the PEP in PEP 0 (in two places: the categorized list, and the
   numeric list).
