If that kind of thing comes up, updating the PEP directly is
definitely a reasonable way to clarify things. If people want to see
the *exact* state of the PEP when it was accepted, they're all under
version control. What we actually do depends on the specifics of the
PEP, though (and whether or not anyone feels motivated to clarify
things!).

Cheers,
Nick.
