I understood this to mean he's providing the info that would be needed
for writing a process PEP, but as an informational PEP because there's
no other place it fits better and Guido would like to have it on record,
but isn't himself planning to propose a switch *at the moment*, thus
cutting off panic from the community that there was an immanent proposal
to switch.
