Related to this, I think that the website cronjob updating the PEP
is no longer running, or at least it appears so...

Several PEPs still have links to the SVN repo and some of them
give a 404 when trying to fetch the .txt file:

http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0001/ (SVN, Last-modified link works)
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0385/ (SVN, Last-modified link works)
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0396/ (SVN, 404)

Others point to the HG repo, like probably all PEPs pages should:

http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0100/ (HG)
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/ (HG, but gives an error)
