If this new governance model will include core devs being able to vote on
PEPs, then I will have different opinion on how I want to vote or promote
any new core dev.

And maybe that's OK for a few months? I don't recall Guido ever

Please don't misunderstand my wanting to set up a deadlines and process as
wanting to rush things.
I'm open to extend the dates, and even wait another year if we need to.
Or do folks want to come up with a completely different process than what
I've proposed?

In the end, I just want to know whether we will come to decision before
2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, .. ?
