 From PEP 1:

"""
There are three kinds of PEP:
    * A Standards Track PEP describes a new feature or implementation 
for Python.
    * An Informational PEP describes a Python design issue, or 
provides general guidelines or information to the Python community, 
but does not propose a new feature. Informational PEPs do not 
necessarily represent a Python community consensus or recommendation, 
so users and implementors are free to ignore Informational PEPs or 
follow their advice.
    * A Process PEP describes a process surrounding Python, or 
proposes a change to (or an event in) a process. Process PEPs are 
like Standards Track PEPs but apply to areas other than the Python 
language itself. They may propose an implementation, but not to 
Python's codebase; they often require community consensus; unlike 
Informational PEPs, they are more than recommendations, and users are 
typically not free to ignore them. Examples include procedures, 
guidelines, changes to the decision-making process, and changes to 
the tools or environment used in Python development. Any meta-PEP is 
also considered a Process PEP.
"""

I don't think it qualifies as a Standards PEP under the above 
definitions.  I made it Informational originally because it's rather 
like the DB API PEPs, which are Informational.

I suppose we could say it's a Process PEP, or perhaps update PEP 1 to 
add a new category (into which the DB API PEPs would also fall), or 
maybe just tweak the above definitions a bit so that the 
Informational category makes more sense.
