-PEP Deferral
-============
-
-Python 3.4 is nearing its first alpha, and already includes a couple of
-significant low level changes in PEP 445 (memory allocator customisation)
-and PEP 442 (safe object finalization). As a result of the latter PEP,
-the shutdown procedure of CPython has also been changed to be more heavily
-reliant on the cyclic garbage collector, significantly reducing the
-number of modules that will experience the "module globals set to None"
-behaviour that is used to deliberate break cycles and attempt to releases
-more external resources cleanly.
-
-Furthermore, I am heavily involved in the current round of updates to the
-Python packaging ecosystem (as both the lead author of PEP 426 and
-BDFL-delegate for several other PEPs), leaving little to spare to work on
-this proposal. The other developers I would trust to lead this effort are
-also working on other things.
-
-So, due to those practical resource constraints, the proximity of Python
-3.4 deadlines, and recognition that making too many significant changes to
-the low level CPython infrastructure in one release is likely to be unwise,
-further work on this PEP has been deferred to the Python 3.5 development
-cycle.
