Martin wanted to mark them rejected a while ago - reaction was
decidedly mixed, and the burden of proof to justify the extra workload
and complexity certainly wasn't met. I asked him to hold off because I
was planning to update 413 to the simple "early alphas" idea, but:
1. That's up to the RM rather than really needing a PEP
2. Even if it was a PEP level suggestion, a new PEP would be better
for a new idea anyway

At the moment, with the "3.4" used throughout the examples in both
PEPs, it's a little confusing w.r.t the actual 3.4 release PEP. I
could live with "Deferred" instead of "Rejected", but one or the other
should happen.

Cheers,
Nick.
