It's more typical for reference implementations to be "proof of concept"
quality code, though. It's very rare to have a full, ready to apply patch
(although we certainly don't complain if that happens!)

(To directly answer the original question: a test integration glitch isn't
a blocker for PEP acceptance, just for actually committing the
implementation)

Cheers,
Nick.
