Are you sure it should be an addendum, as opposed to just being folded into 
the PEP's various sections?  For example, the 'singleton' example is 
already in the Examples section, so should it just be addition to motivation?

OTOH, I guess I could see putting brief mentions in those sections, and 
then having an appendix for a detailed explanation of how much harder it is 
to do decorator-like things with metaclasses.

And on the other other hand, maybe citing my email in the Python-dev 
archive would suffice in place of that appendix.  :)

Anyway, let me know which way I should go.
