I'm also fine with removing the module if that is what it takes to
move all of this forward. That would remove Python 3.2's release cycle
from this picture while also allowing a finalization of WSGI specs to
continue in parallel.

But this probably shouldn't happen as Geremy's Cheeseshop #s put
wsgiref squarely in the middle of most used stdlib modules with 421
projects. So there are users of the module.

I say go ahead and remove it.
