Short of some horrible CoC catastrophe we can just hold off on making any final decisions on PEPs until a decision is made in how we want to handle PEPs going forward since Python 3.8 isn't hitting beta until May 2019 (and even if it was close we don't need to ever rush anything into a release as there's always the next release :) .

Agreed.  I was hasty in posting that and don't foresee any issues
where a temporary BDFL would matter. :)
