You're welcome.

Yes, I just opened an issue for os.walk():
http://bugs.python.org/issue23605

We need a patch and benchmarks on Linux and Windows for that
(including benchmarks on a NFS share for the Linux case).

I changed the status of the PEP 471 to Final even if os.walk() was not
modified yet. IMO the most important part was os.scandir() since
"os.scandir()" is in the title of the PEP 471.
