Indeed.

Though I generally like the direction that PEP 444 is going in, I know
that writing specs is *HARD*. I think having something that works on
Python 3 in time for the 3.2 release is a much bigger deal than having
an WSGI2 (or whatever) done.

This is classic "the perfect is the enemy of the good" territory.
Let's get "the good" done and *then* spend time working on "the
perfect".
